I was so excited last night because today was the 20 minute run of W5. It felt like a waiting for Santa-exam combo! I took it slowly & steadily and at the end felt I could keep going 🤗. What an amazing programme! I never ever thought I would look forward to running. Great sense of achievement! Good luck to all you fellow Couch25K runners - tattie 🥔 to track star 🏃‍♀️in 9 weeks 😂!

Now that is a beautiful view and a great achievement, you are now free of the mental barrier to running for longer.

I bet you are grinning like a Cheshire cat and you really deserve it!

Great view. It's amazing how it takes your mind off the run.
