So Iโ€™ve just ran for 20 mins, what was I worried about, clearly we can do it people.! It felt amazing to get into a Rhythm and just run ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ trust the app guys, itโ€™s very do-able

I actually ran though my 5 minutes at the end and added 5 mins rest once done, I didnโ€™t want to stop ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜

I've just done week 5 run 2 and I'm dreading run 3. 20 minutes is such a big jump!

Great job. I wouldnโ€™t recommend running the cooldown... but if you do, do a cooldown after! Itโ€™s there to get your body back to normal slowly so you donโ€™t feint, mainly. Slow and steady through the intervals in week six and you got this.

Completed my W5R3 this evening too. Iโ€™m working away and actually brought my running kit with me as I was determined not to sit in my hotel room and just cabbage in front of the TV. Put the trainers on and got out in the open air, so glad I did. I felt great after ๐Ÿ˜€
