Hello peeps,

I just completed run 3! I actually cant believe I have just managed to run for 20 minutes without stopping. This is such a huge milestone for me from where I first began this programme 5 weeks ago! I managed the run just fine and I even felt that I could go on!

I am really so pleased with my progress and now looking forward to week 6!

Well done.

I bet you won't stop grinning for a week.......it is a milestone.

Be respectful of W6R1, it catches people out, so take it nice and slow.

Well done; isn't it amazing to think you have run non-stop for a whole bag of minutes?
