O well done Hanfel, congratulations on completing that 20 minute run of week 5, I hope you are very proud of yourself, it wasn't all that dreadful, of it wasn't, now go and celebrate 🎉

I have just come back from what I and some others on this forum call a "5K Virtual parkrun" this morning was my 10th, they are ran at the same time as official parkruns which are not on just now because of Covid 19.

I have literally just finished this.... I can’t believe I actually did it. I set off in a less that positive attitude but just kept going. I hope you get on OK.
