Hi all
Just wanted to quickly share with you all that I can now run for 5 minutes - no problem!
Some of you may remember my desperate plea a couple of weeks ago saying there was NO WAY I could increase from 3 minutes to 5 minutes.
You've all been incredibly supportive and this programme REALLY WORKS ππ»π xx

Hi there, I'm new on here, and I'm struggling to go from 3 minutes to 5, I do feel encouraged though reading everyone's stories so I'm determined to stick at it.

Hi!
If you look back 2/3 weeks for my post regarding the jump from 3 to 5 minutes, you will see I was really struggling.
3 minutes was hell! I did not believe I would ever run for FIVE!
There were so many encouraging posts! And, yes, I did it. Very, very slowly and it was a case of mind over matter.
It is possible! Good luck. Go slowly and keep us posted π Xx

Go slower than you can believe possible...I still, when struggling, invoke the oft repeated advice to jog so low and slow that someone viewing your head over a hedge wouldn't know you're running. Become a stealth jogger, if you will!!! Only we and you know you're on the journey of your life !!!!!
