W5R3 bagged :)

I did it!! I never thought I'd ever run for twenty minutes. After just five weeks of following this programme, it's achievable. So, anybody doubting themselves, don't!! It can be done.

The feeling is indescribable. I was so looking forward to it too. Tomorrow, I'll upload my stats. With a twenty- minute non-stop run, I'll be able to get a meaningful insight into how I'm progressing. I'll post up tomorrow.

Now, I'll just quietly collapse onto the sofa and relive every moment. Night night.

Boom! There it is. I can give you a meaningful insight into how you’re progressing... you’re kicking its butt. Not many more minutes to add now, you got this.

Yep....kicking its butt is an apt description, haha. But, so as not to let the stats aficionados get upset, I'll still post some sort of stats tomorrow :)

Thank you, and I agree with your use of the word "we". The amount of support and feedback given by all, it does feel like a joint effort.

It's a great community and very motivating. There's advice and guidance before your runs and a motivating pat on the back / high 5 when you achieve your results.
