Smashed it!

[Webby16]

Just finished Wk 5 and actually really enjoyed the run! Can’t actually believe I ran for 20mins without getting breathless and feeling relaxed! This programme REALLY is fantastic. Ask anyone who knows me if I run and they would laugh...I might just have to tell family and friends I’ve started jogging 😁. You will hear their disbelief all round the country!

Very well done you..keep it slow and keep it steady and carry on surprising everyone

The lovely longer runs come next and you can really relax into the runs..let the legs, the newly-found running legs do their own thing... breathe and enjoy and start to find your happy pace

[Webby16 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you 😊 My happy pace is really slow but frightened to increase pace in case I start to struggle.

Well done. That’s amazing. Did you find the 20 mins at all difficult? I have this run tomorrow and feeling a bit more than nervous 😀

[Webby16 Graduate in reply to TJMazz]

I actually was nervous beforehand but have got to say I started well..sometimes I get my knickers in a twist about breathing but today I put it right out of my head and just concentrated on the music I was listening to and before I knew it 15mins had passed and felt great knowing that only had 5 to go and again I felt strong at the end...really really surprised myself! Just believe in the programme it works. I look forward to hearing about your run

Sounds great. Watch this space 🤞

It is such a feeling when that one completed .... feels monumental so enjoy the buzz — well done you 🎉

[Webby16 Graduate in reply to Wannabefit19]

Thank you. It did feel somewhat monumental 😁

That's great, huge well done - and lovely that you enjoyed it.

I have done the same run today- I managed but it was a slog. Hopefully I will enjoy the next one more, I usually do! 😀

[Webby16 Graduate]

Fab well done! We can do this!
