Well today's the day for the first double figure minutes ,20 minutes it seemed impossible a month ago.

Well I have DONE IT, can't believe it 20 minutes steady (some may say slow) constant not stop 20 minutes. If you had told me at the start of this I could run for 20 minutes I would have never have believed it(unless someone had told me the pub was running out of beer and I had to get there before all gone forever ).

I truly believe the the support on here has been invaluable 😀. Reading other people's post and experience really helps. Thanks all. Have a good day.

Yes, the programme really does work! Make sure you take it slow and steady and you'll keep surprising yourself. ☺ good luck with your journey!

I am sure you will. It was daunting but once past 10 minutes, I knew I could make. Oldfloss said keep it steady and it worked.
