Thanks for all the supportive comments re completing W5R3, glad to report that W6R1 under my belt but why is running 5 minutes so much harder than 20! Laura is great but my colleague is my companion on 2 out of the 3 runs each week and it really does help to have her there... to keep me on my toes (well plodding feet).
W6R1: Thanks for all the supportive comments re... - Couch to 5K

Week six has a reputation for catching everyone out - going back to intervals popped the bubble for me after the 20 minute run, and I suspect that the walking intervals are designed to lull our bodies and brains into a false sense of security before having to set off at a jog again. However, it's doable if you remember to gag the gremlins and keep a steady pace Not long till the final stretch now...

You are now in the part of the program that deals with the mental challenge of running! It's all about beating the head gremlins - keep going, you are almost there!
