I was really apprehensive about this run and I did it was a struggle on the 1st 8mins has to real slow it down in the middle but picked up speed on the last few mins the 2nd 8mins kept a steady pace throughout. I’m really chuffed with myself getting this far and got up early to complete this run feeling great but not looking fwd to last run on week 5 a full 20mins will let u know if I complete it or not let’s see xxx

Well done. Sounds like you've cracked it. Just take the same approach to the next run and you'll be fine.

Well done, you are doing really well 😃

The 20 mins is much more a psychological issue than a physical one & lots of people feel daunted. The program is carefully planned to make sure you are ready for the next run - and you are. Go really slow, gentle and relaxed - then you will be fine.
