I can hardly believe it but I just ran for 20 minutes!!! So very pleased with myself. This is the furthest I've run for a very long time. This training plan is awesome, Laura said I was ready and she was right! Hooray!

U are doing really great!!! They say if u have done the 20 minute run, u have almost finished the program. It gives the confidence of finishing the 30 minutes. Keep going.

Thank you. It was a battle of mind and body. My right calf muscle tightened 5 minutes before the end but I kept going!

When she was telling me to, "finish in style ".. I used to shout..." Who are you kidding.. if I finish at all, it will be a miracle!!!! " :)

Very well done you... onwards and upwards!!!
