W5R2 Not easy but easier than I thought!

5 Replies

Thanks to all those who encouraged me saying “just keep going & you’ll have no problem “ well you were right!!

Set off at 5:30 taking advantage of the cooler temperatures. Nice & peaceful, no traffic 😀

Got into a reasonable rhythm, not as out of breath as I have been.....am I actually getting fitter?!!! 😅

Still a bit nervous 😬 about the 20 min run 🏃‍♂️ coming next, but today has given me a lot of confidence.

To anyone coming up to this point in the program please KEEP GOING....if I can do it ...so can you!!

Well done on it run. I thought I wouldn't manage 20 mins of running but I did and it felt great that for 1st ever in my life I ran for 20mins. You will too and no one will b able to stop you smiling all day. Happy running and keep smiling.

I did run 2 yesterday and really looking forward to trying the 20 minutes tomorrow. I have really trusted in the program and find it amazing! I'm curious all the time what I can achieve just by doing as I'm told haha! I think the buzz after managing 20 minutes will be incredible! Happy running!
