I did it!!! So happy!!!! Was supposed to do it on Sunday but had a bit of a twinge in my left foot so rested and completed today!!! I was positive about this run but not sure I fully believed I was ready for it. At 15 minutes I had to have a little chat with myself ha but managed to finish!

Honestly if I can do this... literally anybody can! Xxxx

You can absolutely do it! I was the same on run one I was thinking this is never going to happen! Got to ten mins and thought ok half way started to struggle at 15 mins but by then I convinced myself there’s no point stopping now! When he said 2 mins left I got a new lease of life! Strange still don’t feel like I could go for 20 mins even though I have done!

That’s brilliant, well done 😁. I have my 20 min run coming up tomorrow so it’s reassuring to read this, as I’m feeling exactly same as you were - not sure I believe that I can do it!

Good luck for tomorrow. You will surprise yourself and no matter what you are doing so much better than you were 5 weeks ago!

It really is a strange one just keep telling yourself once you get through this run you are done for the session! Xxx
