Good run. Finding I have a lot more resolve and urge to run. Was just waiting for Laura to let me go on the 8 minute-er. Found I had energy left in the tank so ran up and down some steps after the 8 min-er and did a couple of short sprints at the end.
Can't wait to get up to 30 mins! And after that get further (5K?) in 30 mins 
Take care not to do too much too soon, or too quick. It's so easy to hurt yourself when you're not used to this running lark. It's all new and it can catch you out if you push it beyond the prescribed limits. I'd stick to Laura's timings and not do any more just yet. Wait til you're built up strengthwise
Well done on getting this far! Keep plugging away and you'll soon be at Graduation. Exciting times ey!
Yes, you're right. I've heard about and know a couple of people who've injured themselves, so I must be careful. Thanks for the encouragement 
I admire your enthusiasm and motivation. You seem to be doing really well. But please read and take what I'm writing below in the manner in which I intend it - not wanting to criticise you at all or dampen your enthusiasm.
If you're young, fit, healthy and strong - perhaps doing a range of other sports - then adding bits on might get you through the programme more quickly. It is, after all, designed to get people off the couch and running for 30 minutes so perhaps you are starting further along the line than most of us in terms of fitness.
BUT, just a word of warning, because the programme builds up your stamina - enabling you to run for longer - AND strenghtens your muscles and gets your tendons/joints, etc used to running for longer times in a systematic way.
You might have seen people moaning on the forum about being on the injury bench. This is not usually cause by an accident or by a dramatic hamstring pull/turn of the ankle. Injuries tend to creep up on you over time brought on by a range of reasons, but the main ones are running shoes that don't support your feet in the way you need and doing too much too soon so something eventually "gives".
I have seen in your other posts that you skipped a lot of runs to get this far. Maybe this will work out fine for you, but I think you should consider sticking with the programme from now on. If you concentrate on running with good form and push yourself when Laura suggests it in the last minute of a run, then you will be helping to develop good running habits. Does it really matter if you "finish the programme" next week or next month? The generally accepted wisdom is not to increase your running time/distance by more than 10% per week, to help prevent injury from overdoing things. So really I'm just asking you to think in terms of what you are doing now laying the base for running in the future. Wishing you all the best and many years of enjoyable running.
Thank you for your concern. You're all very caring on here
I don't intend to push myself any further than I can realistically go in the next 3 - 4 weeks. I only skipped weeks 2 and 3 because I could already run for 5 mins without stopping (week 4 standard). This week I've done the week 5 and 6 runs in a slightly different order to fit in parkrun on Saturday. I'll still be doing all of the runs in weeks 5 and 6.
The sprinting I thought would help to increase my speed and it felt good to use the energy I had left at the end. This would be helpful in the last 100m of a 5K race too.
Thank you again for your warning. I will try to be careful and stay within my limits. Happy running
