I’ve just ran non stop for 20 minutes!

OMG I actually did that!!!

So, so happy and it was not half as bad as I was expecting!

Okay, so I only covered 2.5k but hey, I have another 4weeks to reach 5k!

For all the newbies reading this, it really does work and I was so sceptical to begin with and never in a million years did I think I would get this far but I have!

Hi Laura well done I did mine on Monday I found running continually was better than stop start runs still had to dig deep though but enjoyable

Thank you Kst2222 I found it better too than stop start and you kind of get into a Rhythm don’t you!

The last 2 mins were the hardest but that’s because I was nearing the end and counting down the time in my head I think but really looking forward to the next one!

Well done to you too!

Ooooo...this is a little devil this one but YOU NAILED IT!!!! It feels good doesn’t it?! Woo hoo, who’d have thought it were possible, is probably the thought going through your mind but you have proved it is...very well done...on to week 6....take it slowly....👍🏼🐌...& prepare yourself well 💪🏻

[LauraTurtle Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Thank you ☺️ I’m

Feeling very happy with myself right now ha! Xx

And so you should be 😉

[GingerBohemian Graduate]

Nope....you have the rest of your life to run 5km.

It’s a great feeling isn’t it when your mind lets you achieve what your body already knew.

And you know he best thing....you did 2.5km NON STOP because you took it nice and slow and steady. Would you have completed the 20 minutes if you had gone like the clappers?

You are at pretty much the same pace as me (you are about 5s Faster per km) and whilst this is never about comparing to others, at that pace I am happy and can run for 40 minutes. And I am only a month or so in front of you.

Celebrate the achievement. You have done so so SO well coming this far and now you can see it all coming together.

Take the rest days and on to week 6.

*wanders off into hotel bar shouting ‘Barman, a pint of your finest ale please as LauraTurtle has just run 20 minutes! Hurrah!

[LauraTurtle Graduate in reply to GingerBohemian]

Ha ha! I love this! Make sure it’s a large one please barman!

I’m really enjoying my journey so far and can’t wait to do more continuous runs as I feel I get into them more!

🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[Sarah_lou18 Graduate]

Well done you!! I’ve to do this run on Thursday so it’s great to read a post like this. Absolutely brilliant, you should be very proud of yourself 👏🏻

[LauraTurtle Graduate in reply to Sarah_lou18]

Thank you! It was the run I was most nervous about and it turned out to be one of the best ones so far!

Good luck for Thursday, you will do it! ☺️☺️

[Sarah_lou18 Graduate in reply to LauraTurtle]

Fingers crossed. We’re at a caravan park up north and folk were looking at me like i was mad when I was out running today 😂

[DebJogsOn Graduate]

That run is so ground breaking isn't it?

Think it's when you really start believing it's all possible.

Enjoy the feeling!

Then look forward to hoe great 25 minutes is going to feel 😊

[LauraTurtle Graduate in reply to DebJogsOn]

Thank you!

I really am buzzing tonight! It’s a great feeling of achievement and makes it all the hard work worth it!

Can’t wait for week 6 now!
