20 minutes running with no walking at all!! That was after 30 minutes of weights with a personal trainer (free session!!) and before 15 minutes on the bike. Needless to say I'm a happy bunny!!!

I was pretty proud of my second 25 minute run this morning but to do 20 AFTER weights and then get on a bike! Wow!
Be loud! Be proud!

Another 25 minute run under my belt
I'm not going to jinx it by getting complacent or pretend for one minute that it was easy ( the last minute is a killer!), but I was reasonably comfortable for most of the run. I find there's a 'crisis point' about 3-4 minutes in when, if I listened to my inner wimp, I might stop. However if I ignore her and push on I'm fine.
There's a good gym at the leisure centre where I swim, so last night I took up their offer of a free 'taster' session. I wanted to have a go at running on a treadmill because I'm wondering how much longer I'm going to be able to un outside. It was fun, (although I much prefer having a destination to run to). What amazed me though was how casually I just got on and ran for 5 mins - not a second thought!
Now if you'd told me I'd soon be able do that when I was back in Wk 3..........

You're doing so well!! Are you going to be going to the gym more often now? I'm thinking of setting myself a half marathon challenge for March. It'll be tough getting ready for it and it means I'll need to run outside (in the cold, wet winter
) xx

Week 7 complete!
Followed the podcast recommendation this morning and upped the pace for the last minute of my run this morning .....and didn't die
It was probably a good thing because I'm now not QUITE so apprehensive about Wednesday's 28 minute run.
TWENTY EIGHT minutes..........eeeeeeeeek!

Hey guys! You're all doing so brilliantly! I just started Week 1 Day 1 yesterday! Was so shocked that I actually got through it! Feeling positive about it. Still can't imagine myself running the whole thing though lol. Day 2 on Tuesday, hopefully!
Hi there!
I still find it hard to believe that I now run for 25 mins......W1D1 nearly killed me! Trust the programme - it's fab!
Good luck tomorrow....don't forget to tell us how you get on!
