damp cold morning, nailed it. Thursday is the dreaded 20 minutes, will let you know how it goes.

I tightened my belt to the last notch this afternoon (that’s 3 holes from where it would have been on 3/11). :-)

Well done cb1322 , sometimes the weather can put a right dampened on it but not for you, you still got out there and nailed that run!! DO NOT over think run3...its just another run and what the programme has be preparing you for both physically and mentally, don't let them gremlins convince you other wise ok??? Go girl...you can do this!!!

Nothing to dread, you are ready for it. I did it on Sunday, the first 5 minutes are the hardest but don’t over think it. I was told beforehand just find your all day pace it ain’t a race. Slow and steady, good luck, let us all know how you get on.

Well done!

You'll do that 20 minutes, no problem.

Just start off nice and slow.

We all know you've got this :-)

Well done, don’t dread the next run you are prepared

Those belt notches are fantastic aren’t they?

It is just another run and most people love it, so why it has assumed this ridiculous reputation to be dreaded is beyond me.

tbh think i prefer to do 20 than walk for 5 with 2 8’s now. Starting to get back to my old training distance (20 y plus ago)

All the runs up until now have prepared you for what comes next. You'll be needing a new belt soon at this rate. Well done you 😊
