Smashed it!

20 minute run done Wk 5 Run 3 Thanks to the playlists, the trainer advice and the encouragement. One of my most challenging mornings - nothing to do with the running - I’m on Cub Camp they were up at 530 - later for Cubs. My running buddy was very interested in the loose sheep! And I abandoned the other leaders to run - excellent!!

Woohoo! You did it. It’s a great feeling isn’t it? I did mine yesterday and I’m still on a high! Can’t wait for W6!

Happy running! And enjoy Cub Camp too!

And I’ve just done mine. I really didn’t think I was going to make the jump from running 8 minutes to 20 but all the advice on here is great and I’ve smashed it. Feel fantastic- especially as 5 weeks ago I was only just managing to run for a minute!

It feels great. Well done you too. I love running early morning but you’ve definitely smashed it if you’re on cub camp too. Enjoy the rest of your day 😊
