I have just slowly run 20 minutes! 🐌🐌It feels fantastic to be able to say that. W5r3 was the strongest that i have felt, breathing is under control now and i even felt i could have kept going. First run in the rain too and boy did it rain but it was actually quite refreshing. I'm grinning like a cheshire cat! Roll on w6!

Good good good. A great boost for the confidence and into the second half of programme. A bit of work still to do but nothing to fear. Carry on as you are, you won't go wrong.

Huge well done.. slow and steady works a treat :) Keep it relaxed and gentle and know that you are ready for each and every run:)

Week 6 is different... but nothing to fear... at all... Just relax and go with the flow:)
