I’ve managed to complete this run after doubting myself I could do it 😁😁. Still not finding it easy but think I’ve managed to find my pace and the stubborn streak in me pushes me on to complete it. Next run 25 mins 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I’m doing this run tomorrow. I did W6R1 twice as I struggled the first time. Second time was soooo much better but possibly because the weather was much cooler. Absolutely hated the 20 minute W5R3 but, like you, I didn’t want to be beaten. I just didn’t feel the euphoria that I thought I’d feel when I completed it. I guess that’s just the way it goes sometimes and the important thing is just carrying on with it. I always remind myself that 2 months ago I couldn’t even run for 90 seconds!! Good luck with Run 3.

You will manage it just keep a slow and steady pace. My hubby keeps reminding me that 6 weeks ago I was doing nothing and would have struggled to run so we should be proud of ourselves for getting this far and now we are this far there is no giving up, just over 3 weeks to go until we complete the programme. Good luck with run 2

Good going Elaine. 🎉 I’m doing my w6r2 tomorrow. We’ll be alright NJG 😉
