Challenge

[cathsykes]

So it's W5R3 ..........

Absolutely NOT convinced I'm going to manage this one this morning

Have managed (just) all the others but this is a monumental leap - 20 minutes? You have got to be joking!!

Anyway I'll get my kit n running shoes on and as ever try and do as much as I can - that's what's got me through so far

[Thecko Graduate]

Exactly how I felt - set off at a slow and steady pace. Put some music on and just run, don't concentrate on how long you've been running for 👍🏻

Exactly what I did

I focussed on getting to milestones rather than how long it would take

Yes it's a challenge but the programme has prepared you for it. Have faith in it and in yourself. Run nice and slow and enjoy the 20 minute run

[cathsykes in reply to Hidden]

I am truly amazed week after week how good this programme is at getting me - and thousands of others running

Whoever designed is a genius

It is just another run. Slow and steady 😃

W5R2 you ran and walked for a total of 31 minutes and W5R3 you run walk for 30 minutes.........You can do this!!

[cathsykes in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Yeah but there was no walking breaks this run

Seems 20 mins isn't forever after all!!!

Crack on! Be positive ! Come on 💪💪💪💪💪💪🏃‍♀️👍✔️

[GemmaRoberts]

You can do it! Just go nice and slow!

[cathsykes]

Well.......

I did it!!!

Thanks for support - it does help - especially thinking I can't post and say I didn't manage it!!!!!

Yes it was slow but I even managed to speed up for last 2 mins and even felt I could have carried on !!

Bring on week 6

And Good Luck to all
