Week 5 run 3

Yes, I actually did it I ran for 20 mins I was soooo worried about it last night, but I just did what Laura said, ran slow, did good breathing. Wow. It started hard, but before I knew it she was saying five mins and half way. It feels fantastic, as if being a real runner is now do able. I just kept on thinking, too, how nice it would be to post how I'd done it on these boards. Thanks everyone!

Well done! That is a real achievement and shows what you can do! Isn't it an amazing feeling?

Thanks Hilary. I never would have believed it. I'm addicted!

That happened to me too! And from struggling with running for a minute and begging Laura to let me stop I caught myself thinking yesterday "only ten minutes to go- that's ok"

Well done. That 20 minute run is a real turning point mentally isn't it? At least it was for me. I'm sure you're going to be grinning from ear to ear all day ! Enjoy your success 😀👏

Well done. That's the second hardest run of the program in my opinion, after W1R1. Graduation is in sight.

[McFitty Graduate]

So well done! That is definitely the two biggest mental challenges done and dusted. Just slow and steady now, another few weeks and you'll be on that podium
