Wow I've actually managed to run for 20 mins

[Sammully]

Just back from w5 r3 and I actually did it, ran for 20 mins all at once! Can't believe this because I was sooooo unfit only 5 weeks ago. It was tough but I really wanted to complete it even if I was pretty much at snail pace for the last 5 minutes. How did anyone else find this week? Xx

Hi Sammully i did the same run yest, it was tough in parts (Laura's "you've only got 2 minutes left....." - as usual the longest two minutes of the run began!) but I finished and am still buzzing this morning. Well done to you, roll on week 6! Congratulations 😀

Yeah well done it's an amazing feeling although I am putting off my 25 min run!

It's a massive sense of achievement completing that run, I think it really gives you a confidence boost.

Beware though, going back to intervals next week has caught some people out (me included!) so remember to take it steady and don't get ahead of yourself

Well done! I did mine yesterday and it was more of a mental challenge than a physical one. Good luck with week 6, after the jump in wk 5 from run 2 to run 3 I was a bit scared of looking but it doesn't seem too bad, but will take on board what others have said about taking it steady !

Also completed W5R3 yesterday. I stood on the treadmill thinking there was no chance, got the first 5 minutes over then, to be honest, I think I found it easier than the previous two runs, just settled into a rhythm and kept going trying to ignore the clock. It was a long last 5 minutes though!
