Week 5 Run 2

โ€ข17 Replies

Woohoo I never for one minute thought I could run never mind 8 mins! I was so busy getting myself sorted on the warm up walk that I totally missed how long the first run was going to be and when Laura told me half way there then you have ran for 8 minutes I was ecstatic. Happy running everyone have a great day ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Nooooo...donโ€™t be, itโ€™s more of a psychological challenge because most think โ€œomg, 20 mins?? I canโ€™t do that!!!!โ€ But you know what?? You definitely can Hidden ...I know you can...if you warm up properly...start & stay slow & steady...I will def be on your shoulder, running with you.....you will do it

Loads of us thought the same...when you try โ€œweakโ€ 1 it seems like an impossibility but here you are on Week 5..yep itโ€™s 20 mins but itโ€™s def doable...getyour right head on & youโ€™ll nail it ๐Ÿ˜‰
