It’s mind over matter!

I did wk5 R2! I didn’t feel great going into the run but decided just to take it slow and steady and not think about the time. It worked! Completed the first 8 mins feeling fine and even managed to speed up for the last minute of the second run.

I’m kinda looking forward to Sunday’s 20 min run?! How weird is that?

It truly is mind over matter! Great that you enjoyed the run.

The 20 min run was a game changer for me...had no idea I could do it, but it was absolutely fine! You are right to look forward to it - you can do it no problem, and it’s such a confidence boosting moment! Happy running. 😁

Good for you. Starting slow really is the best . It makes the run much more enjoyable and doesn't it feel great to have some energy at the end too!

Wk5 run 3 was the first run that I really enjoyed from start to finish. I think you will too!

Happy running

That’s great to get this far! Yeah, the 20 min run is a bit of a landmark moment. The best advice I got for it here - keep it slow, then slow down more. It’s not about pace or distance at this point, it’s about doing the time. Well done and keep going!
