Wow I've just ran for 20 mins without stopping for the first time in over 20 years. Thank you all for your encouraging messages and advice prior to this run, it really helped. First 5 minutes were the hardest, once I got to grips mentally, I was fine. Really enjoyed the sense of achievement. Have a great day everyone. Roll on week 6πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘

Congratulations Cockneymick on running non stop for 20 minutes, well done, many people have also not ran for that long as well, you should be very proud of yourself, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran πŸƒπŸΎ 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

Feels great doesn't it!?

I did that run on Friday, in the wind, and am allowing myself the luxury of two days off before starting week 6 tomorrow.

Onwrds and upwards. We can do this! πŸ˜€
