I’m about to attempt the 25 minute run in week 6 and am genuinely scared as I have just about managed to get this far and am worried I won’t cope with this. Here goes! 😬

Good luck! Don't think you "might not manage" set out with the mindset of "I've come this far... I'm ready!" 👍🏻😁

You can do this and there is nothing to fear.

You can do it. Don’t think to much about it just go for it. It more in the head your body prepared for it. 👍🏻✨🏃🏻‍♀️

Excellent, well done you. Really pleased for you. 👏👏👏

You can do it - Get some great tunes in your ears, maybe a new playlist for the new, longer run and breathe steady. I feared it too but keep positive.
