NHS Couchto5k Wk 5
My first ever 20mins run: it happened. Success. It was a hot day so naturally I over-dressed. I'm still self-conscious about showing off my fat arms. Nobody else cares so I'll have to try and get over myself.
The first 5 minutes seemed to go on forever. You're waiting for Laura's voice to cut in and say you're nearly finished , but no, another 15 minutes to go. I managed to get into a decent rhythm about the 10 minute mark. Then settled into a slow but comfortable pace.
I did have a mental block thinking 20 minutes would be too much but it's amazing what your body can do with the proper preparation. I could have run for longer. Who would have thought that five weeks ago. Not me.
At the end it was more a case of JOB DONE than any euphoric high. Roll on Week 6...
