W5r3 in the bag! Feel over the moon, Laura kept me going with her helpful hints and comments.

I was definitely training my unfit mind today. My body coped fine, but my mind kept telling me you've run enough,it's ok to stop. I pushed these thoughts to the back of my head and kept going and only went and did it!

Let's see what w6 brings

Thanks Antonioa. Good luck for Saturday. I'm sure you will be fine. This run is a mental battle. Physically you have reached a level where 20 mins running is achievable if your head will just let you do it
