Struggled with the final 5 min run though and have to confess to a 20 second walk half way through that final run! My 12 yo daughter on the other hand smashed it!! I am blown away that 10 runs ago we couldn’t run a minute and today ran a full 5 mins nearly twice!!! We can do this 😊🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Well done! I did week 4 run 2 this morning and I'm also amazed that I can manage those 5 minute runs. 8 minutes next week. Ooer.

I looked ahead and gulped. But two weeks ago I would have gulped thinking about a five minute run. Second one tomorrow still apprehensive. Although I am struggling with calf pain that comes on during the recovery walks. Eases when I run. We will do this together. Slowly and steadily.
