Can’t quite believe it!! Running for 20 minutes....me..... it’s amazing!!

First 5 minutes felt quite hard, 3rd 5 was definitely the easiest. Last 2 minutes was hard but so great to hear Michael’s voice saying to walk.

I’m elated now and very rosy πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Thank you all for your support so far 😊

It’s tricky, not hard as such, pace yourself well, run slow, walk brisk... I think avoiding too much cooling and any kind of speed was the key for me. I’m sure you’ll be just fine and ever so proud of yourself afterwards.
