I've got this run too today, feeling really nervous about this one. Really doubting whether I can actually do 20 min straight 😕

Good luck

You can. Everyone feels like that but the programme works. It's only a few minutes longer run, just without a walk break, so just make sure you start slow and you will make it.

It is just another run... with each run we get stronger and you are right, slow is the way to go:)

Please do let us know! I did it on Thurs, and thoroughly enjoyed it. 😀 This one is mental - as in, all in the head and pacing. It's not so bad...you know, the programme has trained you for this. 🏃‍♀️
