20 mins

[Cuig1975]

Hey folks completed the 20 min run, 5 min walk took me to .5km then started running first 10 mins was a killer at 12mins knew I could do it, continued for 23 mins to run 3k and walked last . 5k , I enjoyed it slight drizzle and I seemed to be comfortable running not too warm.

I listened to music don’t think I heard any song in the first 10 mins but after that enjoyed the songs ..... feeling good .

For any of the fellow gaspers starting this journey it’s so achievable, slow and steady my time was not much better running than walking so slowly slowly is the advice . I’ll try and find Polly’s post to update her as I know she’s going for her 20 mins as well

Congratulations on running for 20 minutes Cuig1975, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks 🏃 🚶😉

Well done Cuig1975. I hate to tell you this but whatever distance you're doing the first 10 mins or 1km is horrible! Then comes the sweet spot which is really enjoyable, and afterwards the feeling is SO good.

You'll be up to 30 mins before you know it!
