Week 5 and I did itπŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€. W5R2 I found really hard so was very worried about R3 but it was so much better with no stopping and starting, pacing easier and half way was really half way. Onwards... thanks for everyone’s inspirational posts, think I now consider myself a runner πŸ˜‡

Great run. You can do 20, that means you can do anything! Slow and steady through the intervals at the start of week 6 and you got this.

Take it slow and find a flat route. This programme really does work! Good luck πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done! That’s inspiring as I am doing that run tomorrow & was worried how I’d go from 8 mins to 20 mins. In saying that I’m amazed how well this program works as I couldn’t even run 1 min before without dying 😁

Well done.I did run 3 yesterday,was really dreading it,reading up on how to keep going when it got hard etc.All our other runs have been in the park but were away for a couple of days,there was a gym at the hotel so did it on a treadmill.I couldn't believe how easily I did it,it was amazing,even my breathing was ok.Maybe I couldn't have done it so easily at the park with all those hills but did it anyway.If I can do it than anyone can do it.
