Wow...I can't quite believe that this morning I actually ran (more like a fast foot shuffle) for 20mins without stopping!! I have spent the rest of the day trying not to fall asleep!

Week 6 here I come 😄

A big well done to you. That's an achievement to be proud of 👏 and I bet you'll sleep really well tonight! Just be a bit careful of the next run as many people find it hard as it's a return to intervals. Just take it slowly and you'll be fine.

Awww well done LadyHelen - I remember my first 20 minutes like that too - total WOW did I just do THAT moment!! There will probably be a few hickups between now and graduation (I defo had some) but you'll get over them and crack it! Well done you!! :)

Well done! That was me last week. I found W6R1 a struggle, but doable.
