Just done my first ever 20 mins run but I had to run a little slower, at 10 mins I thought I’m going to have to stop but actually made it to the end . I’m so pleased with myself. Hope your runs are going ok

Well done you are doing so well, you are nearly at your 30 minutes . I haven’t been able to run for the last two weeks due to severe knee pain , the pain is a lot better today so will give it another two days and try to run again
