The first 5 minutes I thought until I found my stride and just settled into it, and tried not to think about 20 minutes, and thought of it as 5 minute sections made it easier. Good luck let me know how you get on x

Awesome news guys. Really gives me hope I can get close to the 20 min mark. If not I'll. Just realised do it and hope I get it at the next run but gonna give it a go

Yep completed r3 of week three just now. Worst bit was Michael Johnson telling me I'd only done 5 mins but I got to 10 and realised that I'd already gone further than ever before and before I knew it I had only 5 min left and I wasn't going to give up then. Thank so much for sharing your success it gave me hope I could do it too xxxx
