I done it I ran for 20 mins straight! Set off feeling positive (big help) and with a controlled pace . The first 5 mins felt as though I had been running longer than I actually had but I wasn't sure at which marker points Laura would helpfully interject.

It truly is a mental challenge at this point isn't it? At no point did I want to give up or thought I couldn't do it, have had those days but not today!!

Oh, well done - I felt so pleased with myself when I did that one too (only last week). I still think it's amazing compared with how much of a challenge week one was.

Onwards and upwards :-) And Enjoy !!
