I didn't think I could do it. But I did!!!

Was feeling SO proud of myself. I never thought I could run for 8 mins. Momentary joy ..... and then I sneaked a peak at the next one.....20mins with no break? Really? 😬

Yay! It's amazing isn't it? And yeah I completely had that euphoria-turn-to-slight-panic when I looked at the next one. I seriously started having doubts. But, trust in the app. It's got you this far & it's not going to suddenly throw something at you that you can't do. Just take it slow & steady - I was virtually chanting that to myself when I did it on Saturday. You can & will do it! Somehow you just get into a kind of rhythm I think. Or possibly oxygen-deprived delirium... (Joking!) Do it! And let us know how you get on! X

Thank you.

You're so right about the app. It does somehow work like magic even if I do go very slowly and it's not a pretty sight!

Well done!! Would you have believed a few weeks ago that you could run 8 minutes?? 20 will be no different - you can do that too - your legs will do what your head tells them - good luck 😊
