    @dmgday. I did it.. The whole 20 mins. I always run with music or a pod cast.. Makes it go so much easier.

    @rnurse82 I did the same those first couple of weeks and thought I'd have to repeat some weeks because there was no way I'd be able to run for 3 mins, 5 mins, 8 minutes... Shudder... 20 mins lol... Even the day before my 20 mins run I didn't think I could do it... But I did!!! Today was week 6 day 1 and I ran the furthest I have so far... We will get there! We will be running 5k soon!

    YOU CAN DO IT! Running is just as much about your mental strength as it is your physical strength - and you've got boatloads of both :smiley:

    I just did it!!! I just ran for 20 mins!! Okay so a snail could have overtaken me and it was nowhere near my abnormal pace but who cares? I just ran for 20 mins!!! 5 weeks ago I only managed 50 seconds! Thank you all for your advise and encouragement! Today's lesson... Trust in yourself and the programme!

    Congratulations!
