I can't believe I'm doing this!

I completed W6D1 yesterday and still can't believe I'm loving this programme so much... Every time I go out, I feel as if there's no way I'll achieve what I set out to, but so far I have. Tomorrow's 2x 10 minutes sounds hard, but I'm determined to do it. Any tips? And for the upcoming 25 minutes?!

You don't need tips, you sound like you're doing great so keep going. I still can't believe that I'm doing it nearly a year on but there's something magical about the programme that gets us through and turns us into runners! :)

25 minutes will be fine, just keep doing what you are doing. The programme is designed so you are ready for it.

You ran 20 minutes last week, sure whats another 5 minutes between friends.
