25 mins continuous jogging ๐ŸŒ which seemed like a pipe dream when I put my trainers on today, let alone 6wks ago.

The first and last 5 mins were the hardest ... finding a rhythm and then struggling to keep my eyes open with sweat stinging them.

This programme is fantastic, it does what it says ... turns a couch potato into a runner. Iโ€™m well short of 5km but that is a target for the future.

I can do this, there are 3 more weeks to go to add 5 mins on to the jogging time. Thatโ€™s got to be doable. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Thanks. All but about 2 of the 18 sessions so far have been a huge challenge for me but the goal is in sight now. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Brilliant well done. Your absolutely right not to worry about 5k, you'll soon be running beyond that anyway!

Iโ€™ll be lost when the programme ends. I could do with one called โ€œ30 mins to 5Kโ€ ๐Ÿคฃ

Youโ€™ll do it. Runs 1 & 2 this week were worse. Good luck ๐Ÿ˜‰
