5 weeks in and just done my 20 min run it was a killer will it always be like this 😩

It does get easier...But I'm still finding running a bit of a chore. Maybe slow down a bit for the next one. Some of my runs r really slow. !

Brilliant well done!! When you're running 30 then 20 will seem easy 😊 Keep up the good work

Well done! 20mins done 🎉

Nope it won’t always be like that - 20 mins will soon be easier but you’ll not notice as you’ll be running 25 mins, 30 mins, 35 mins.....

From memory Week 6 is similar to week 5 which helps consolidate the gains

Stick with it

I always find the last 2 - 5 mins of the run I am doing the hardest, whichever week it is! It's as ELSW73 says you don't notice the 20 mins when you are running for longer.

You get stronger and if it is a struggle..you need to slow down and then more so

Think snail on a go slow...

I've found it gradually becomes more comfortable rather than easier. I'm doing 25 minutes now and am surprised at how good my breathing has become. Think it's a lot of mental strength and pacing yourself. In doing the 20 minutes you've proved you have got it in you, look at how much you've progressed so far and think like a runner!
