Just finished W5R3, can't quite believe I've just done that! Thank you for your support a few weeks ago when I was so disheartened and didn't think I could do this. 😁 very proud of myself!!! πŸ˜€

Well done! I start Week 5 on Monday. I must say I can’t quite believe that I’ll be able to run for 20 mins in a week’s time. That’s why I signed up here - hoping for a confidence boost from those that have done it.

Thank you, don't worry, you will be able to do it! I woke up this morning and still didn't think I could do it but I just went for it (albeit slowly) and somehow my legs just kept going! In a way it felt easier than stopping and starting and it was long enough for my mind to wander off and start thinking of other things which helped me get into a natural rhythm with my breathing. I have found it so helpful reading all the posts and realizing most of us feel exactly the same! Good luck, let us know how it goes, but I feel sure you will be absolutely fine 😊.

So you should be. It seems a great hurdle but do the work beforehand and it's no so big.

Yey! Congrats πŸ‘

And you should be very proud of yourself.

It seems to be the run that is dreaded the most, yet the majority enjoy the most.

As our Yoda says "It's just another run"... Which it is..... But I think the majority of us think.... "20 minutes non stop running... You're having a laugh".... Yet through this plan you can actually achieve it.

I know I was buzzing when I did mine!

So VERY well done...

As the others say.... Go slow and steady in week 6...

Enjoy πŸ‘
