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 👍🏻😊 xx

I knew you could do it!

I've just staggered in the door having done Run 1 Week 6.

I am in love with Michael Johnson ❤

[Langley-Loper Graduate in reply to Gillma]

OK! He's a bit busy on the BBC at the moment but I am sure we can find a date in the autumn. I'll put your invitations in the post...

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 😊 Xx

[lynis in reply to mrspinkrat]

Thank you, I will give it a go tomorrow morning! Love everyone's support on here.

[Gillma Graduate in reply to lynis]

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 !!!!!

[Hidden in reply to lynis]

Go for it, you will do it we promise
