So I did the week 5 20 min non stop run tonight despite making excuses for myself as to why I shouldn't do i-, too cold, too tired, first day back at work after holidays last week, found 2 x 10 difficult so don't bother with 20......

And I did it. Snails pace but non stop and the sense of achievement is massive 😆😆

I cannot wait! But on the other hand if I plateau at 20 mins run I will be happy

That run was the highlight of my couch journey.

It was an amazing feeling and the day , I realised that I could do this if I wanted to.

Keep going and you can achieve anything you want to x
