Woo hoo!

You were worried about failing. Perfectly natural and food for mind gremlins. But you felt the fear and did it anyway. 👏👏👏👏

I'm so proud if myself. If 5 weeks ago someone told me I would have done this I would have laughed and said there's no way. I struggled so much week one but now feel like a totally different person. Bring on those 30 minute runs!

Me too! I was really worried about this one but didn’t find it too bad! My breathing settled into a nice rhythm before long... if it wasn’t for the calf pain I think I could have kept going!

I think I could have kept going too. I was compleatly in the moment and was absolutely gutted to see my house and know it was over! I done like a little leg shake run half way through and that eased my calves right up. Didn't even have to stop to do it, just looked like I was doing a little dance 😂
