I can’t believe I actually did it and have to admit it really was fine, maybe not enjoyable but certainly not a torture. The feeling at the end is amazing and I actually felt I could have carried on a little more.

I’m pretty sure that even at school I didn’t manage to run for so long! What an amazing program and Special BIG thank yous to the many lovely people who supported me last night and this morning when I was dreading this run. I sincerely appreciate all the help. Big kisses froma very happy RUNNER (I think I’ve earned that title)!

Well done you! I was dreading that first 20 minute run, but found it easier than expected. After that the longer 25 minute runs don't seem so daunting. I've got 1 run of week 7 left.....

Thanks Mike! Yes, I feel the same now, think it’s more psychological, the dreaded 20 min. Agree, 25 doesn’t frighten me now but let’s see!! Well done btw, wk 7, you’re nearly there. 👍🏼

Oh, it so did 🤩. Amazing how the program prepares you but it’s hard to imagine 20 mins being doable without a break so soon. I’m sure I’ve never run for that long in my life!!Thanks for your encouragement again. 😘

Well done. I really do think that one is the biggest hurdle because it's hard to believe you'll do it before you do. You're on a roll now.

Yes, we can! I ran the whole extra 5 minute cool down period on the end of the 8 minute run today to see if I could push myself, so did 21 minutes of running today and still felt ok. Feeling hopeful about run 3! Who is this strange person who’s taken over my body?!
