Hi Blu, it is tough but you are tougher! I would recommend a slightly slower pace than normal but you will smash it.

It is as much mental as physical so believe you can do it and you will!

Let us know how you get on?

For run 2 you did a total of 21 minutes (2x8 minutes plus 5 minutes walking). Tomorrow you only have to do 20, so as long as your pace is barely more than walking you should be fine ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ Good luck!

So many people are apprehensive about this run, but you've got this far and are ready for it. Plenty of hydration today, take it slow, tell us tomorrow how you've smashed it!

Bet youโ€™ll surprise yourself! The programme will have built you up gradually, almost without you realising it, and as long as you pace yourself and go slow and steady, youโ€™ll be fine! ๐Ÿ˜€

Good luck, and let us know how you get on. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Donโ€™t think it, run it. Relax, tell yourself that you can do it throughout your warmup, go slow and go as long as you can... you might just be in for a pleasant surprise.
