Very pleased with myself that managed to run for 20 minutes - even in the pouring rain!!
Mr Kohli said it was more about attitude as the program had built you up to be able to run for 20 minutes. Wasn't sure I believed him but thought - right let's give it a go. Set off and when Mr Kohli started speaking thought I must have run for at least 10 mins - but no it was only 5!!!! 15 more minutes to go - Gaaaah!
So slowed down and kept going. And I did it!!!
I've never run before and am amazed at how much I enjoy it and actually want to go out - even in the rain!! I am becoming evangelical at telling my friends and encouraging them to try it as well.

Oh my gosh 20 minutes non stop? Already?? I did W5R1 yesterday and was very happy with that, but didn't realise what I have coming at the weekend!! I'll be over the moon if I manage that one. Have never run before either and am really enjoying it too!
I know- it was a shock for me too. But I'd looked ahead so knew it was coming. R2 is 2*8 minutes.
But - as everyone on here says- trust the programme and go slow. I am amazed that I can do it - and that I enjoy it. And my friends are as amazed as I am!! You'll do it and you'll feel fab afterwards.
Actually I think I was so relieved that it was 2x8 minutes and not 28 minutes as I had thought that it seemed really easy. Maybe that's the trick, build yourself up to something harder and then it's easy in comparison!
