Wk5R3 - I just ran for 20 mins - WITHOUT STOPPING!

Not really sure how that happened but I ran and I didn’t stop.....Until Jo told me I could, obviously!

Wasn’t really looking forward to this run. Wasn’t really feeling that sure that I’d complete it, even during the warm up walk...but once I started running (Albeit very slowly) it felt good and before I knew it, I only had 5 mins left and then it was done! I even ran up a few (smallish) hills.

I just ran for 20 mins - WITHOUT STOPPING - mind blown! 🤯🤯🤯 😁😁😁

I will tell you how it happened........by following a carefully considered and constructed progressive training plan.

Well done.

From here on in you need to believe in yourself and trust the plan, but stay nice and slow for the next one, it catches many out.

Thanks IannodaTruffe, the training plan is excellent, I just can’t believe I’m achieving what I am through it. Will keep my wits about me for the next run!

Amazing feeling isn’t it !

I love the feeling of completing my “run”

(Very loose use of the term run lol)

I too use the term “run” very lightly 😂

Love it!! Just be careful with week 6 as that catches people out.. all part of the grand plan 🏃🏼‍♀️😊 I qualify hopefully Wednesday .. never thought I’d ever get that far! Enjoy the rest of your journey 👟🏃🏼‍♀️
