I just ran for 5 mins!!!!!

Yesterday I was really daunted at the thought of running for 5 mins (W4R1).

I posted my concerns about my aching ankles and everyone was so positive and helpful.

So this morning I thought .... get on with it you wuss.......... and I did it! 16 mins running in total, I can't believe it :)

So pleased with myself, thank you everyone.

Well done!

Just take it gently and follow the plan and you'll be amazed where you will be in a few weeks. Just think, less than 4 weeks ago you thought running 60s would be a problem - now you can run for 5mins at a time.

Happy running!

Good luck
