Not going to say it was easy but I've just completed the dreaded 20min run. Totally amazed at how you get into a steady jog and manage to keep going. Actually starting to feel like a runner now (very slow one, but I'll work on that) ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿƒ

Well done! Thatโ€™s a big physical and mental barrier blown away.

Slow runners like us are still runners!

W6 looks easy compared to the 20 minute run - donโ€™t be caught out and just take it slowly, it can bite!

Enjoy the buzz of success - youโ€™ve done something huge.

Well done you. Iโ€™ve got the same run tomorrow. Iโ€™ve decided to get up at 4.30 as it will be cooler. Just need to focus and psych myself up. ๐Ÿ˜Š
