Just managed to run for 20 mins, without stopping, without gasping, for the first time ever...! ย In fact I feel better at the end of this week than I did a couple of weeks ago - the programme really works ๐Ÿ˜€

Hi Sparky, I wouldn't call myself elite or a real runner yet, but the feeling of euphoria after the terror of going up a gear from 8 mins to 20 mins was brilliant. ย Now I'm looking forward to next week which is something I NEVER thought I'd say ๐Ÿ˜€

Brilliant! The steps up in time are not as challenging as that first 20 minute run, so enjoy your success with confidence that you will be able to complete the programme comfortably. Well done! ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŽ‰

Phew - glad to know that is the biggest step up - it felt like Everest before I did it - then it felt amazing when I did ๐Ÿ˜€

Hope you enjoy it today. ย I was really unsure how I was going to get from 8 mins to 20 mins but I paced myself and it just seemed to work.... Got to trust Laura ๐Ÿ˜€
