Re: Week 4... Feeling disheartened

Fair play to you boyaks. I just finished week five so just completed the big 20 minute run and found it ok. I can't believe I ran for the whole 20 mins. So happy with myself 

Still no gloves though keep forgetting them 

The second run I could feel myself struggling at the first 3 min run, and couldn't do the five's! It wasn't so much my legs were the problem as my chest and lower lungs (if that makes sense...
