20 mins!

[Clairecandothis]

I did it! I ran for 20 minutes straight without stopping and I also ran around the lake of the park that I run in for the first time too. This programme is amazing!😊🤗😍 To go from 8 minutes to 20 minutes is such a mindset thing. But then to go from 60 seconds to 20 minutes is crazy, or would have been before I started this. I now have a running top and jacket as well as my trainers and I might have to invest in a pair of pretty leggings now lol. I'm hooked. I will definitely be running my 5k in April for Kicks Count Charity and then 10k in October for Mcmillan. 🖤💕😍🤗😊🤗 20 minutes!!

Thank you. 😊 I know..... my boyfriend said come back if it's too hard just before I left and I was like err no I'm doing this! 🤣😊😊 x

I am at the same stage as you. Was really dreading the 20 minute run so much so I put it off for a couple of days.

Refocused, mentally struggled in the first couple of minutes but ignored my negative mind and did it.

Such an amazing feeling considering I couldn’t run for 1 minute a few weeks ago.

Keep up the good work

I refuse to believe I won't be able to do it and to be fair we are doing it lol! This programme is fab but so are we 😊😊🤗🤗😊😍 x

[smurphy1910 in reply to Clairecandothis]

I’m keen to get out and start week 6.

I’ve signed up to Tough Mudder Half in June which is a major motivation of me.

I refuse to give in and am enjoying the moment x

[Clairecandothis Graduate in reply to smurphy1910]

My big motivation is 10k for Macmillan in October but small steps lol x

You see? We all said you could. Break out the lycra, go mad, visit Tikiboo and splurge in celebration 😀

[Clairecandothis Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Great idea maybe I should 🤣🤔😜😊 x

This programme really is magic isn’t it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We’re really doing it and getting somewhere!! 😊

I’m on w6 r3 tomorrow. I have no idea where the strength will come from but I know I will try my best.

Take care with your next run Claire. I found it the toughest yet. No idea why but it was. X

This is fantastic! Go you! I have W5R2 today and then Friday is the big 20 minuter for me too! I still can't believe the number of minutes we are running having huffed & puffed our way through week 1! Get those pretty running tights ordered! x

Well done Claire! I did my 20mins two days ago and feel exactly the same as you! We did it! Yes, When I started to think in 5 weeks I’d be running 20mins I would have laughed..., now look at us!!!
