Week 5 run 3 done this morning. Not gonna lie and say it was no problem. It wasn’t. I was knackered. But absolutely elated when Laura said I’d finished. Still can’t quite believe I actually ran for a solid 20mins. Anyone who’s coming onto it just believe in yourself and you can do it.

Too right, I never thought I could do it, but I have...! Don't listen to the devil on your shoulder 👿

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, you are knackered but very happy and 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 🏃🏾 😊

Awesome! I bet you are absolutely beaming! 🏃‍♀️👏🤗

Thanks for sharing your experience and your words of encouragement. I completed WK5 R2 this morning.... which went well ... and I'm planning on R3 Saturday..... kind of excited about it, but know it will be a challenge (as always!)

Well done again!

I really can’t believe I’ve ran 20mins. Never thought I’d get this far.

I remember that feeling so well less than a year ago, such a sense of achievement
