25 mins!

5 Replies

Well I'm pleased and amazed to have done w6r3 this morning and run non-stop for 25 mins. I'm not sure if I've ever run for that long in my life!

Felt a bit light headed the last couple of minutes so tried to make sure I was breathing properly and made it to the end - I do have Addison's disease and have managed so far without needing to up my meds - my bp was a little low when I got back but not too bad. So I think I will just see how I get on next time - hopefully just a blip!

Happy running everyone

Wow that is amazing. I am on week 3 and amazed that I can run for three minutes so can't imagine running for that long!

Ha I was exactly the same. You can definitely do it - trust the programme and you will build up gradually!
