5 weeks ago I would have never thought this was a possibility for me. I just ran for 20 minutes without a break albeit very slowly. If I can do it and I am about 9 stone overweight anyone can do it. Feeling proud!

Way to go! You must be so proud 😁

I'm on week 5 run 1 today and looking forward to run 3 and those 20 minutes with eager anticipation and fear in equal parts.

It's a mental battle I think. Just think of it as 4 lots of 5 minutes and keep going even when you feel the burn. You'll smash it!

Good for you! Well done!

I did it yesterday but had to stop to a wee walk at 12 mins...no longer than 30

seconds or so but am going to try again tomorrow. Good luck for week 6!
