Well so far so good! Must admit to being apprehensive about week 5 run 3, the 20 minuter! Managed it though, and if I say so myself I think I managed it well, there wasnt a point where I thought i need to stop, spent most of the run thinking about how To keep going when I reach the point of really wanting to stop but never got to that point and before I knew it it was done. Managed 1.8 miles in the 20 mins.
Bring on week 6!!!

Don't let it get to you Sal - you will be fine - it's like being at school and having no morning break because you have an exam - you aren't getting a break so you don't miss it - honestly - you will be fine! If I can do it after having to pause W1D1 because I couldn't run for a full minute.......... Good luck
You will be fine, keep the pace low and the 20 minutes soon passes. Listen to some music that you know really well while running too, I find it really helps me judge how long to go. Was telling myself its only a matter of running for 5 songs, 4 songs etc.
Very well done - it is amazing that you can now run non stop for 20 minutes! Woo hoo. Don't be surprised if you find W6D1 a bit tough though - it is weird that running with a break seems tough after running for a full 20 minutes but it knocked quite a few of us - forewarned is forearmed as they say. You are doing brilliantly - keep up the good work, your graduation badge is in sight.
Oh well done Andy!!!!!! That's amazing You know you can do it now, just a matter of lengthening your time to 30 and that's it, course completed. Bet you're feeling really chuffed.
Thanks everyone, the support and encoragement from here is amazing and really helps. been a long busy and tiring day today and here I am wanting to get for the next session. forcing myself to have the rest day.
