W5R3 DONE!! I so wasn’t feeling it but yey I did it! Not sure if I’m dead or alive or if I’ll ever walk again but I am so chuffed and stunned and in disbelief- it’s not easy but definitely worth it! Let’s see what W6 has to throw at me! 😃👍🎉

Amazing. 20 min non-stop is not easy, it scared the hell out of me first! But I bet you're amazed you managed it. Super well done! :)

Congratulations 'Pancakes' judging by your name, you like pancakes, I am on week 5, I completed run 1 yesterday, next Monday is my 'big day' when I will try and run for 20 minutes non-stop, just like what you achieved yesterday.

Well done! I face this one tomorrow and have been dreading it all week. Week 5 has been the most challenging for me so far. But that feeling when you complete each run is great! Here's to completeing W5R3 tomorrow 😊

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking whether to do it today or tomorrow, I saw your message and went today. Yes did it. Wow it is amazing considering I struggled to run between 3 lamp posts. Thanks for the motivation.

My turn tomorrow- really looking forward to it....although I can’t quite believe I’ll be able to run for 20mins 😳 fingers crossed🤞🏽

Well done! On Week 5 also and Run 1 was better than expected. Run 2 tomorrow & Run 3 Sunday. The jump to 20mins straight looks terrifying but people are succeeding! So like you after 29mins run I might wonder what planet I’m on 😊

I’m planning that run for Saturday. I’m trying to convince myself I can do it and it’s a case of mind over matter!! Reading the posts on here, it’s great to know I’m not the only one feeling like this and that people just like me DO succeed. Well done, fantastic achievement!

Pancakes profile image
PancakesGraduate in reply toEllie-Lou

It really is mind over matter! Go really slow and just keep putting one foot in front of the other! I plod! You can do it! I’m not worrying about distance I think that’s something we can work on after graduation! You can do it! 🙂👍

Congratulations! Absolutely brilliant!

Have an unofficial half way medal...

Take a couple of days to rest and recover before trying week 6.

You are developing your body all the time, so you'll be able to manage week 6.

Nicely done again.
