Can’t quite believe I’ve just ran for TWENTY FIVE minutes!!! 😱😱😱 I’ve been dreading this run all week, tried every excuse not to do it but managed to sort my head out and just went for it! Slowed right down and I dare say I even enjoyed it! Thank you so much for everyone’s positive words last night they definitely did the trick!!!

Anyone else done this run tonight and celebrating with me?!! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸΎπŸ€ͺ

That's great, a big achievement for sure, you deserve to be proud of that one! I think you deserve a big glass of red wine (please feel free to change red wine for something else if you want!) and something yummy to eat too preferably with lots of calories!

I too finished the dreaded 25 minutes run last night. Not going to break any speed records but a massive achievement! Well done both of us!!!

Good luck!! I found shortening my stride and slowing right down did the trick!!! 🀞🀞

Well done to you! I did this run early in the morning. Found the first 5 mins quite hard but then pushed on. I'd been dreading it all week but it wasn't as bad as I'd been expecting. Quite looking forward to week 7 now, starting Sunday β˜ΊοΈβ˜ΊοΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ.

Yay, well done πŸ‘ I did this run early this morning & like you was dreading it. I found it easier than the previous run which I did in the afternoon heat with more of an incline πŸ˜€

Isn't it terrific? I can assure you it gets easier. I'm about to do my final run of week 9 today. I remember how tough 25 minutes was, but now I find 30 mins quite comfortable. Good on you!
