W5 R3 done

First time post. Well I have just run for 20 minutes without stopping. Can’t believe it.

I have never been a runner and I have done 20 mins, so happy. My pace could have been faster but guess that will come over time.

Trust this plan really does work. 😁😁😁

Well done you! Isn't it the most amazing feeling! Going from 8 minutes to 20 seemed like such a massive jump but sarah/Michael /Laura(whoever you listen to I think it's the same script!) is right, it's a mental challenge. Fantastic achievement, you nailed it👏

That's brilliant! Well done!

W5r3 is a big hurdle to overcome both physically and mentally and you've done it in style!

Keep up the good work ... happy running!
