20 minutes?!

Terrified is the only way I can describe my Week 5 run 3 build up! And boy was it a build up, I’d had such a busy week at uni last week that 8 days elapsed between run 2 and run 3! So I did wonder whether I’d be able to get through 20 minutes.

Somehow I managed it! I’m elated 😃😃😃 anyone else just tackled the scary run?

Yep! Honestly didn’t think I’d be able to do it, but I did! This was definitely the hardest mentally I found. Congratulations!

Great job... that’s the run that proves you got this... and with all that going on you didn’t have the best prep... then you rocked it... very well done.

I'm amazed you managed to do that after so many rest days.

You might feel it more tomorrow!

I find going up and down stairs in the morning after a good test of how much I pushed myself.

Let us know how your stairs test good! 😸
