I tried this 3 days ago and could only do 15 minutes having completed all the other weeks without any problems. So I wouldn't let this defeat me. Today I did it!!!! Read a comment from someone who said sometimes it is mind over matter, and for me that's exactly what it was. I knew I could stop if I wanted to but I decided to keep going.

First time I have ever posted on here but love all the motivation from everyone, so decided to write something. Enjoy your Sunday everyone x

I thought a few times that I could just give up but you've come too far to do that. Keep going. Now you've run for 20 mins that finish line is in sight

Well done you πŸ‘πŸ½ that's my next run, I'm planning on doing it straight after work tomorrow although it's my first day back after 6 weeks off so not sure how much energy I will have 😩 but I'll give it a good go 😊

Not what you're looking for?
