Not yet week 9 but completed week 5 and what an achievement! i got excited when Laura said i have done 10mns and I wasn't out of breath, that's when i knew i could complete a full 20mns :-)

For any one starting week one and thinking there is no way i can run more than one minute(like I did) than think again you can! I haven't updated my progress for a few weeks but weeks3 and 4 completed and found a comfortable pace in last run of week 4. Week 5 has been easier than i thought it would be and I enjoyed ,to my surprise, the non walking interruption in last run of week 5!

I Enjoy the morning jog better, no so hot and less people around....usually i am off for 6.00 and back in time to get ready for work! So bring on week 6.. And Well done to everyone who have completed week 5 , you are amazing!

Well done, that first 20 minute run is fantastic....I remember I was on such a high afterwards. Keep up the good work and good luck for week 6.

Well done for getting that far, and good strategy to run early. You are over half way through the program.! Happy running.

Congratulations :-) I love that point in a run when you just know you've cracked it! Yesterday was like that and I ended running an extra 11 minutes and did 5k! Enjoy!

Well done. That's the dreaded 20 minute run out of the way. There'll be no stopping you now. Good luck.

Well done - this seems to be most people's favourite run. In fact I'm envious of all those about to do it and feel that high from completing it!

You've still got morr funy to come so keep on enjoying :-)

Well done, I think nearly everyone panics about running 20 mins non stop in week 5, but following the programme makes possible. Good luck with the rest of your runs
