Mind over matter! 🀣

BOOM! W5R3 done!! Just as Sarah Millican was saying I only had 2 minutes left and to slow down if I was tired, "I'm still standing" by Elton John started playing and it really gave me the boost I needed for those last couple of minutes!! Shattered now but sooooooo happy! Would never have thought I could run for 20 minutes when I was turning purple gasping for breath in week 1 after just 60 seconds!! Wow... I almost feel like a proper runner now!! 🀣

Top result tiger. You defo are a runner now. I thought the human body was designed to explode after 5 minutes of running. You've proved me wrong. So I'm going to have to keep up πŸ˜€

Thank you! I struggled for the first 6 minutes then I realised I wasn't running at a slow and steady happy pace so I slowed down and got into a really comfortable rhythm, I still can't believe I've done it 😁😁😁

Oh well done.

Keep doing it.πŸ‘πŸ‘

Believe in you and trust in the programme.

Just one run by run and one foot by one foot kissing the ground lightly.It helps you also get through that initial sticky phase and your not alone about going off too quickly.That is something that seems to take some time to learn, if ever.πŸ€”

It’s great to feel your enjoyment.πŸŒŸπŸ‘πŸ‘
