I can't believe I have just done 2 five minute runs - they made the three minute runs seem easy by Comparison, clever Laura! After the first five minute run, had the biggest beam on My face, people must have thought I was mad. Did cheat a bit as most of the longer runs were, for a change, on the flat or downhill but hey, I did it.

All you people out there just starting, After W1R1 I would never have believed I would be able to run for 2 minutes let alone 5, you can do it.

She quite clever, actually, that Laura. She sneaks up and suddenly you realise you are running for times you never imagined would be possible. Imagine what a big smile you will have when you run for 30 mins non stop!

Think that may take a while but hopefully will get there in the end.

You will most definitely get there. My thought process was exactly the same as yours but I've just graduated so the proof and theory is definitely out there. Stick with it, you'll most definitely get there x
