C25K+ Stamina podcast - wonky timings?

I did the Stamina podcast yesterday for the first time. Am I right in thinking that last 5 minute section at 165bpm is in fact only 4 minutes long - or am I having a serious counting fail?

I haven't tried it, but as someone who did couch to 5k on a treadmill the intervals weren't always what Laura said. They were only ever out by a maximum of +/- 20 seconds though.

I posted something similar the first time I ran it - only I think I thought it was short by 2 minutes (can't remember) - not by actual track timing but by what she says you're going to run in the last section and then when she tells you how long you've got left...something struck me as making no sense at all!

I had my first go at this last night and unfortunately had no choice but to go up a hill for the last bit so if she was a bit out on timings I think I was quite glad!!
