Ok, so I've gotten this far...I CAN do this. I really think it's a question of mental attitude as well as the physical effort. I like to visualise when I'm well, can't call it running, more a jog. I see myself effortlessly striding out...and finishing, which is the best bit! I'm just gearing up for this evenings WK6R1. Waiting for my running buddy, that helps me along! I will keep you posted....TTFN........
Week 6....here I come: Ok, so I've gotten this... - Couch to 5K
Week 6....here I come

I would caution on treating the week lightly though. Having said that with the attitude you have I am sure you will sail through.
Good luck with the programme

All done, but not as easy as it appeared. Took it gently and managed to complete before the heavens opened, thank god!
Week 6 is very tough - it's quite deceptive. The return to intervals for the first two runs, after the euphoria of the 20 minute run in W5, is not a soft option and this can catch some people out. Keep it very slow and steady, stay calm and you will get through it fine. Best wishes.
Yes Fitmo, I remembered you said that earlier. Very true. Feeling a bit achey this morning, but my early Pilates class should sort me out! I notice you are a Graduate, are you continuing your running and do you follow any plan? All the best to you.
Thank you. I am running twice a week now and using Sam Murphy's B210K as it has better music and suits my stride. I have no intention of doing 10K as short runs are enough for me. I also have other things I like to do which are more important to me - Pilate's, for example. Good luck with your own running and best wishes.
