Hello,

I am on week 6 of the couch to 5k and love it! I cant believe I am now running for so long. When I started I thought I wouldn't get through the first 90seconds but did my first 20minute run last week and found it easier than that first run on the plan! How is everyone else doing?

Well done! I remembered that first 20 minute run as one of the hardest!

Thank you! There are good runs and bad the same with anyone I suppose, but I have finally learnt to push myself through the difficult ones and persevere. How far are you running now?

Yes, it was one of my hardest runs, but determination and perseverance as you say, helps you through, and helps in future running. I suppose it's conditioning the mind that makes us push on..😊

It definitely does become more of a mental challenge!
