Week 5 run 3......I was dreading this it seemed such a jump from a maximum of 8 minutes without a fast walk break to 20 minutes solid running

I had nothing to worry about and actually found it really comfortable infact easy...smashed it!

You really can trust this program...I'm so happy as week one I was like a beetroot and breathless after 90 seconds.

So happy to have running now as part of my life ...so therapeutic and has really helped my anxiety xx

It can be a relief to leave the intervals behind and just run. Keep it up, you're doing great 👍🏻

I completed this run today. I actually found run 2 harder. This week required a positive mental attitude to get through.

Looking forward to the next run on Saturday.
