Week 5 Run 3

18 Replies

Woohoo just ran for 20 minutes!! First 5 minutes were okay, between 5 and 15 minutes I thought my feet were going to drop off and then the last 5 minutes I actually quite got into it and felt okay.

But I’ve done it and feel pretty chuffed.

Enjoy the running everyone xx

Chuffed is exactly how you should be feeling, that's a great run to complete and a great confidence booster

Well done. That is a special one. You finish it and then go....."What me, ran for a whole 20 mins???" Surely not! Oh yes you did. Well done.
