so happy - finished my 20 minute run although i extended it by another minute as i wanted to reach the top of this bridge i was running up. I can really see myself running 30 minutes in a few weeks. so chuffed.

Very well done (and an extra minute to boot!). Lots of people say week 6 is challenging but you are now ready for it.

Well done!

On paper W6 looks like a doddle after W5R3, but treat it with respect.......it catches quite a lot of people out.

You can do it!

It's my next run and l am dreading it. I repeated wk5r2 as body was aching from weekend gardening. Thought it was best to take it easy today. Plus hubby wants to catch me up and do the 20mins together. Well done you. I am enjoying running and hope l can manage 20mins on Wednesday 👍
