Fantastic x well done you x

Seems like you experienced the toxic 10 but at least you now know you come out the other side.

I hope you are proud of yourself 💪🏃‍♀️

good for you, i did it last week, I was worried before hand and was like you blowing hard at ten mins . The next runs in wk6 will seem easy after this!

This run was my eureka moment. Dreaded it and put it off but once I did it everything fell into place. I realised that if you trust in the program it worked and so next time I felt like I couldn’t do it I just remembered this run.

Well done it’s a massive hurdle to overcome!
