I survived! I knew I would but it was mentally harder than I thought when I started running, even the first couple of mins felt tough. However, I started at my normal pace (i’m never going to be the worlds fastest but i’m ok with that!) expecting to drop back halfway through but I kept my pace up for the full 20 mins. Never thought I’d achieve this, sure the rest of the program will be a breeze now 😳!!

You should be, I feel like I've really achieved something! I think I'm still slightly amazed I've got to this point, whilst it wasn't easy, 30 mins doesn't seem so daunting at the moment.... :-)

Well done! It’s a great landmark this run and it sounds like you smashed it. It’s not about speed at the moment (luckily as otherwise I would be out!).

Enjoy the other runs!
