That was very challenging. I don't normally run this early (went out at 6:30) but i habe a few things to do today and didn't want to risk missing it.
I was feeling nervous about this after struggling with the last, but like I always do, i silenced the nerves and just threw myself in to it hoping for the best. The first 5 minutes were really hard, i don't think it helped that I felt so cold (note to self... get a very lightweight running jacket). Then i felt like i settled in to it and found a balance between uncomfortable and thrilling 😂. The last 10 mins got harder again, especially the last 5 where i felt like i was barely lifting my feet from the floor... but i did it!!
I got to the end of 25mins and i couldn't believe it!
Week 6 completed. I have to admit that when i started this, i never believed i'd get this far! And now the end feels attainable 😁

Well done you! Sounds like a similar experience to my own, but we completed it, which is the main thing.
And the runs we have over the last three weeks are pretty much "the same again", just gradually increasing the 25 minutes to 30 minutes. So, having done this one, it feels like it should get a bit easier from here on in... we'll see
I said this to my Mum earlier... i feel like the end goak is achievable now. If i can do 25 then I know ill be able to do 30 with perseverance. When I was doing minute intervals.... 30 seemed impossible!
