Was v nervous this morning as have never ran for 20 minutes EVER, but kept telling myself that I believe in this programme and the fantastic support of all you.

I only went and did it!!!! I was whopping in the street and grinning like Cheshire Cat - so much so a lady with a buggy and little one on a scooter gave me a wide berth!!! Feel incredibly chuffed that in just 5 weeks I can run for 20 minutes.

Believe, peeps! x

Yep, that's how its done. Run regularly, three times a week for 5 weeks and you will be able to run for 20 mins non-stop.

Never mind the whys and hows or ifs and buts. It works. All you need is commitment and determination - and you have these in spades!

Well done Surreyjelbel you are knocking these runs out of the park!!!
