I managed it!!! I was so nervous when starring my run that I wouldn't be able to manage such an increase in running and a decrease in walking, but I actually managed all of my five minutes running.
I had to run in a different place to normal with no inclines and found it a lot easier! Back to running in the normal place from now onwards though so hopefully I can still manage the five minutes with the inclines.
I had a little bit of a problem with the app this time though, my last five minutes running started off great, then after a while I wondered why Laura wasn't talking to me, I thought she would tell me when I was halfway through etc, I ended up looking and I must have muted her somehow because I was into my walking time so had actually run for longer than the 5 minutes!!
I went running with my mum this time and it was so so lovely to run with someone else, I enjoyed it more! I'm really starting to enjoy the running - quite addictive isn't it!!

So great! She is fantastic to run with as she just stays at whatever pace I am going and chatters away which takes my mind off the pain haha! Unfortunately she lives 100 miles away so not a permanent running partner at the mo! Xx
Well done, that's great! I also had many problems with the app and in the end had to abandon it in favour of the zenlabs app which is broadly similar to c25k (but with some differences). So if you continue to have problems with Laura check it out
and you're so right, running can become so addictive! I was allergic to exercise all of my life until I started c25k and now I can't get enough!
Well done! Yes, Laura went to sleep for me a few times too. It had something to do with my phone not being active, i.e. whenever I left it alone without swiping away the lock screen or doing something, it would eventually put Laura into standby. If it gets too irritating, you may want to switch to the podcasts, although once I got the last few weeks with the longer uninterrupted runs, I just read the instructions and then timed myself on a watch. Good luck moving on through the programme!
