I can't believe I have just run(well, jogged) for 20 minutes! ๐Ÿ˜ So chuffed ๐Ÿพ I almost bottled it and repeated run 2 but decided that run 3 would become an even bigger hurdle in my head and be even harder psychologically. I just did it, it's such a mental battle this but am so determined to crack it X on to week 6 ๐Ÿ˜

Hi Mazzak

Well done on completing this hurdle!

Iโ€™m at the same point as you and was also out this morning ( in the sunshine ) doing the 20 min run โ€˜jogโ€™ which wasnโ€™t as bad as I thought but I do go so very slow!

Are you having a break before week 6?

Hi GoldenYears,๐Ÿ˜ I am very slow too, in fact the man on the treadmill next to me was walking at the same speed as my jog but I don't care, I have little legs lol. I am on a spa day tomorrow and so will have access to the gym there, I think I will have a go at week 6 run 1 then. How about you, will you have a break?

Yes!

Think Iโ€™ll start week 6 on Sunday. Enjoy your spa day, you deserve it!
