W5, R3 OMG!!!!

Well, I can't believe it, I only went and did it! I mean...ME!!! A few weeks ago I struggled to run for 1 minute, but today I ran for 20 minutes. Okay, the snails were overtaking me, some of them zoomed past if I'm honest. But, I did it, I kept going for 20 minutes. It just shows how wonderful couch to 5K is, because I never thought I'd be able to do this. Thank you to everyone for your words of encouragement along the way, it really does help and inspire me to keep trying, I can't wait to start week 6! Good luck to all you others out there too, never give up, if I can do it, so can you!

Honestly, you'll get there. I never thought I'd run for five minutes, let alone twenty. Just take it slow and I promise you you'll do it. Good luck and thanks for the comment. 😊

Well done, I bottled it this morning and did run 2 again. Panicked when I saw 20 mins and now regretting not trying it. I’ll try it on Thursday morning instead. Good luck for week 6 😀
