Who would have thought that I (or any of us) would be able to run 25 minutes non stop! So excited about consolidating the end of week 6's runs with 3 x 25 minutes running this upcoming week! Well done everyone who has reached this far, we can do it!

Well done Abby- that's a real achievement! Basically, you can run now. It's only a few minutes more to the 30 minute mark- and you will get there :)

Thank you. One more 25 minute run to go and then upping the time to 28 mins.

You're over the hard part now!

You have the ability to run for half an hour - it's just consolidation and very gradual increases from now on. You're a runner - the rest is really just ingraining the habit.

Very well done - and good luck for the last couple of weeks - happy running!

Thanks! I found my last run really tough but I'm expecting to have highs and lows. Doing my final 25 minute run (before starting week 8's 28 mins of running) tomorrow with a friend. Looking forward to running with someone and spurring each other on!
