I did it week 5 run 3!!!

I managed to conquer the 20 minute run!! I was a bit worried about how it was going to go having not run since Saturday and a bit of a stressful week. It was more mental than physical at 10 minutes I was like half way gotta keep going! The last 2 minutes were hard to push through. I ran at a snail pace throughout but was determined not to go fast and just to keep on going! A couple of weeks ago I was struggling with the 5 minute runs so this feels great! Advice for others just go slow and keep moving at a snails pace slow and steady wins the race you can work on improving your speed later!
