Well, I've just gone and done it. Ran for 20 minutes non stop!
That was tough, but mentally more than physically, after 5 minutes running I thought I'll never manage 20. After 10 minutes running I knew I would manage it.
All day I was thinking will I wait until tomorrow before attempting it. So glad that I didn't.
Absolutely buzzing. What a fantastic programme!

Thanks ddmm. I too was dreading it too, but if you have followed the programme you will be able to do it.
I know it's hard to believe, because I got told the same thing by many people and still doubted myself, but they were right. It's amazing how this programme conditions the body.
I really think it's psychological. Twenty minutes seems really long, but after 10 I seemed to be in a rhythm and realised I wasn't finding it more difficult than after 5 minutes. I hope this makes sense. The last 10 minutes seemed to fly by. (OK, the 20th minute was slow, but I was clock watching at this point!).

P.S. Don't tell anyone, because I'll get into trouble for not sticking to the programme, but I sneaked an extra wee minute in at the end!!
'so true - squaring up to those early 'Dont think I can do this' wobbles is the secret, well done!
Well done. Like so many before you, have dreaded this run. But all come through ok. It's a great program. And you should be well pleased with yourself. Its a big step in your progress. Cheers.
