Just a quick post to say hi to everyone who will be doing Week 5 this week. I've got the first run under my belt (I do each one twice to make sure it's not a fluke) and am beginning to feel that I've built up the third run into my own personal nemesis.
Two 8 min x 2 runs to go, then the full 20 minute monty on Sunday. So glad to read posts on here from others who have conquered it!
BRING ON SUNDAY!!!
You can absolutely do It.
Me too! Although I only do each one! Been thinking the same about day three. Survive day one better than I thought o would. Day 2 tonight! We can do this. Well done. Keep going! 😀
Doing the runs twice is a sure way to get there in the end. GO champ.
Week 5 was the turning point for me it was when I realised this was going to work! Hope you enjoy it and I am jealous as you will experience the high that W5R3 gives !!
Well done for reaching week 5! I've got my 20 min run tonight. A few weeks ago I didn't think it was possible, but now its totally possible!
Good luck for this week. xx
I just finished week 4 yesterday, and looking forward to starting week 5! I'll be doing my 20 minute run on Monday next week. It sounds daunting, but strangely, I feel more confident about it than I have in the previous weeks.
Going from 90 seconds of running to 3 minutes of running felt like a big jump, and so did 3 minutes to 5 minutes. But I am so impressed by the way this podcast is designed, now I actually believe that I can do 20 minutes if Laura says so!
I can't wait! It's going to feel so great to get there.
Great attitude Prune, well done.
Aw... Just got in from a trying day at work (eyes bottle of gin longingly) to be greeted by so many lovely comments when I logged on. Thanks guys! With you supporting me, I know I can't fail. Good luck to amy1985, stephb81and LauraLouP!!! I'm right behind you!
You can do it - it's the mental challenge more than the physical one! Just take it easy. I'm on week 5 and completed run 2 today, Thursday is my run 3 day. Good luck for Sunday and enjoy it ! 
Me too! I did w5r1 for the second time today! I'm so scared for what's ahead!!!
How'd it go this week? Have we all finished W5 R3? I made it through mine last night, after re-running W5 R2 on Monday night. But Monday's run was great, and yesterday I ran for 20 minutes! I couldn't believe it!
Really looking forward to starting Week 6 on Saturday morning. Good luck, everyone!
Yes, I've done W3R3 twice. First time was AMAZING, second was quite the opposite for some reason. However no stopping, even when I felt a bit barfy towards the end. W6R1 tonight, not quite the easy run I bargained for but still no stopping!
Well done, Prune!
I'm doing W6R2 tonight, looking forward to the longer 10-minute stretches, rather than the shorter 5 & 8 minute intervals. I can't believe 5 minutes feels short to me now, when just a couple of weeks ago I was wondering how I'd ever get through 5 minutes!
Good luck with week 6!
Hi Amy1985, I agree keeping going is oddly easier than stopping these days. It's crazy! I was supposed to be doing W6R2 myself this morning, but my phone's alarm failed and am yoga-ing this evening so can't go out. But hope it goes well for you, and can't wait til we're doing R3 at the weekend!
HI
I have my 20 minute run tonight. If I can do it I might start believing I can actually run!! It is weird as to how nervous I get before hand though.
Not too good. I panicked when Laura said 10 minutes thinking OMG there's another 10 mins to go and walked for about 20 seconds. Gave myself a talking to and then ran the rest. Didn't enjoy it one bit. It is defiantly mind over matter and I am going to try again tomorrow. I feel a little more positive as I didn't die yesterday!!!
