Completed this run last night.. great feeling! I’m actually running for 8 mins!! The surprising thing for me is that I actually feel like a runner when I’m running now.. not awkward and self conscious like in the early stages but confident and buzzing 🏃🏻♀️ Run 3 tomorrow..let’s see how I do on 20 mins! 😳

Well done! Sounds like you've nailed this!
Thanks! Not nailed it quite yet I’ve another few weeks to go .. will be glad to get this 20 min run out the way tomorrow 😊

Great stuff, well done - yes, I absolutely agree with the comment that these 8 minute runs actually make you feel like a proper runner. Not Usain Bolt, clearly, but a runner nonetheless
Absolutely ☺️
I'm due to do that one tomorrow. I feel like I'm running properly now too! Good luck for R3.
It’s exciting isn’t it?! I’ve never ran in my life! Good luck for R2 😊
Good luck I’m sure you’ll do great. Keep it slow and steady. 👍🏼
Thanks ☺️ Yeah I need to pace myself.. it’s quite a leap from 8!
I did used to run but had to give up a year ago for medical reasons. Took up this programme to ease me back in gradually. I have never in my life run for longer that 4 mins though. I used to do a walk/run combo but after the advice on here I realise I was going way too fast b4 which is why I prob couldn't run for long! Have to say the 20 mins at the end of this week is a bit daunting- but exciting at the same time!
