20mins of running

Well I never...ran for that long in my life. Honestly, I've never enjoyed running and here I am at the end of week 5 and really proud of myself for getting here

Damn right too, it’s something to be very proud of, and the biggest time step in the plan is now behind you... great stuff.

I have to say that run was a the best of the lot so far. I'm in week seven, but that run was amazing to me. Enjoy it and bask in your own glory for as long as you want!

I know the feeling although muscles are a bit stiff today! I'll hopefully be following in your footsteps to week 7 soon!

Pride comes before W6R1, which has a habit of tripping people up.

Keep it nice and steady.

Well done on your milestone run.

Is that common then cos I struggled with w6r1. Thought it would be easy after running for a solid 20 minutes

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to SANDI_runs]

W6R1, for a whole host of reasons, causes many to struggle.

It happens to be the longest workout to date and the psychological boost of running for twenty minutes in W5R3, fools many into thinking that they have cracked the whole running thing.

I always advise a cautious approach to that run.

Thanks - I'll keep that in mind!

Too right about W6R1 - it’s a little minx!! But brilliant on the 20 minuter. You’re doing sooo well, so well done! 👏👏👏👏👏

[cheekychipmunks Graduate]

W5R3 - the first landmark run which you smashed! And I bet you’re now hooked! 😀👍🏻👏

Well done you! 👏👏
