Week 6 ✅

Well that’s week six done!

And I’m so proud of myself!

I had to motivate myself to get out and do it but I’m so glad I did.

First 5 mins was a struggle (that’s because I think my mind was telling my body I CBA!) But then got into it and was fine. Last 2 mins or so was a issue yet by then I knew I was at the finish.

6 weeks ago 25 seconds was a challenge in itself but now 25 minutes today was a challenge ( more mental) but done!

Mega proud of myself!

Bring on week 7

Well done! Just did the same. I very much agree with you about the first 5 minutes and the last 2 or 3 but we got there.

It was a tough week but then so was week 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (I tell myself). Absolutely amazed I can run/jog/shamble through the woods for 25 minutes. Beginning to believe I can do this! Good luck!

Morning, as the app says take your time, pace yourself and you will be fine.

You started this app like me to run distance’s/times like that so enjoy the achievement 😊

That’s true- I remember looking at the app on my phone loads in the first week as I was struggling to get through one minute!

I’ve only gone and bloody done it! First few minutes usual fight but soon settled and even managed the last minute at a proper run. Bring on week 7!
