W6R3 - Nailed it!

Yay! I ran for 25 mins non-stop this morning and feel really ready to move to week 7 on my next run. I actually enjoyed the run today and felt I'd got into a good rhythm (albeit a very slow snail rhythm). The programme definitely works. Getting nearer to graduation and then the real fun begins. BRING IT ON!

Brilliant. Doesn't it feel great when you can say that you ran for 25 minutes non-stop. I still can't believe it myself when I say things like that when only a couple of months ago, I was literally sitting on the couch. On to the next week, Pigpog!

Thanks, AlMorr, it feels good to be a 'runner' even if I am slower than a snail with a zimmer frame! 😂

You are faster than a snail Pigpog, 😊 🏃🏾I recently saw a lady with a zimmer frame walking very slowly and was wondering how long she would take walking 5K.
