W5r3 so happy!!!

[Purplebanana]

I just need to share this with people who will understand my excitement - I completed week 5 run 3 this morning - 20 mins of running!! I’m so happy, running is something I have always wanted to do and never could manage more then a few steps, I remember the first 3min run really hurt and now I’ve done 20 min. I can not believe how good this programme is! I feel totally amazing this morning, a feeling I can’t describe, I can’t stop grinning! I was so worried about this run and thought I’d never do it, it wasn’t easy but I just kept going. If I can do it then absolutely anyone can, anyone feeling nervous about it, don’t, it is amazing. Hope everyone has a great day and thank you for letting me share xx

Thank YOU for sharing! There’s nothing like that moment of self-discovery, of learning you really can do what you were sure you couldn’t!

[pot58 Graduate]

Yay! You deserve to feel good about yourself. It’s a great achievement and just wait till you do 30 minutes! Oh and in the next weeks if you ever feel low just remember how you felt completing 20 minutes of running..😊🎈🎈

Thank you so much for this. On Monday I was really looking forward to week 5 - today I'm feeling a bit hopeless so will keep this in mind as I drag myself back to a positive mindset!

I’ve been dreading this run for weeks but I’m so happy now I’ve done it. It wasn’t pretty and I wanted to stop after 5 mins but I kept thinking, “just keep going”.

You will feel amazing when you’ve done it! Good luck! You can do it xxx

[Ethelbert Graduate]

Yep, I remember that grin 😀 - it's the point where I realised this thing was actually possible!

Another fine example of post-run endorphins! Really well done Purplebanana, enjoy your achievement and grin away!

PS. Watch out for the tricksy 6:1 and 6:2 runs, it is so very easy to go out a little too fast after the high of 5:3 and suffer for it. 🙃

Fantastic! congratulations. Well done for running 20 minutes. I have a few more sessions to go before I get there but this is great inspirations. Well done
