Wk5 - can't believe it

I finished Week 5 on Wednesday. This programme is has amazed me.

I managed to step up from the two 8 minute runs from run 2 to a 20 minute run. Wow. I could never have dreamed at the start that I could find the strength and mental resilience to push through a whole 20 minutes.

If anyone needs encouragement just go for it. Focus on keeping your legs moving. You can do it!!!

The sweat is just my fat screaming 🀣

Wow! Well done! I'm on week 3- really need to trust the programme, as it seems so daunting to think of running for any longer- but each week I seem to manage! Such a great programme. Well done again!

Thanks for the tip. Got to admit I'm not very fast but I'm running. Thanks for your encouragement.

Looking pink rather than good 😊
