W5R1 - Dare I say a breeze

It seems my legs have got used to running for 5 minutes without stopping - unbelievable but true. I'm actually looking forward to run 2 with 2x 8 minute runs. Obviously I know it's not a guarantee I'll keep going but I'm confident and also curious... "is this really going to work" "am I really going to be able to run for 20 whole minutes non stop on run 3 on Saturday " MADNESS but oh so wonderful πŸ˜ƒ

Loving this lifestyle change in me πŸ’šβ˜Ί

Well done. You've actually already answered the questions yourself. The fact is that your legs are ready to keep going and I think once your legs are ready your brain soon follows and you just keep going.

Take it steady and enjoy every step. Enjoy the scenery.good luck with the rest of the plan xx
