Wow only just complete the last run of week 5 and how it was tough and mentally stretched my mind so nearly gave up in those last two minutes! did anyone else struggle running for 20 mins first time? but did feel great afterwards...

Yep. That run took me two attempts. But the feeling afterwards was unbeatable. Well done for completing it, it's not easy.

If you go steady you'll nail the sessions. when it's tough just keep going, hang in there. you'll be glad you did. Often, the cause for being puffed out is because of pushing too hard. Easing off the gas will buy you time to get your breathing under control ☺

Good luck
