Week 5 20 mins done

W5 R3 still in shock. Had a bad first run at the beginning of this week. Kept telling myself there is no way I can do 8 mins. Then I did r2. Then dreaded 20 mins this morning. I thought I'll get to 10 maybe 15 mins. But did the whole 20. Roll on next week. Sooooo chuffed.

Yay, very well done. 😄 No stopping you now!

I have just that run tonight too. I was slow, slow, slow plodding all the way, but that’ll do for now! 😃

It’s such a good feeling when it’s complete isn’t it? I did it yesterday morning and was so chuffed all day! Well done 👍 🏃‍♀️

Brilliant! We do W5r3 tonight or tomow, and that’s inspirational. Our current thinking is to aim for 10 then see how things feel. Well done again and thanks

Great job, well done. Hold on to that feeling and remember from one who knows (I'm currently on W8R2) it's your mind not your body that says you can't do this, trust the programme and you will amaze yourself, I certainly have.

Well done! I completed W5r3 yesterday morning, was nervous about it but it was a great feeling to complete it. It’s made me feel more confident about w6.

Congratulations! You’ve proved to yourself you can do 20 minutes, so surely 25 next week is possible? Yes it is, just go for it! 👍😀
