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!!!

That is awesome! Rest those legs and enjoy the feeling of achievement!
I know that run looms darkly over most and when you complete it is a fantastic achievement. Well done. Look how far you have come 
A wee word about week 6. After the highs of 5/3 it is easy to think week 6 is a breeze. Take it easy and give it respect and you will be grand.
Again, well done on 5/3👍
Good for you, and good to hear that! I'm just about to go out to do week 5 run 2!! .. run 3 certainly looks daunting!!
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
Wow, well done you! Friday it is, then!! 😊
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.
Well done.... right on track. Go for it!
Oooh Well done Andy ! That's a major milestone in the programme and you nailed it !
Fantastic ! Onwards, always xxx
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.
Couldn't agree more just completed wk6 r1 and was feeling pretty deflated by how it felt harder than the 20 min run till I read this post thankyou
That one took all of us by surprise! But you did it! Well done.
WgR1 went reasonably well on Friday evening. Just about to head out on R2 in the wind and rain. I must be mad!!!! lol
Well done Andy!
I'm just 1 run ahead of you at the moment, but it's nice to get the 20minute run bagged isn't it
Well done!! I am also on week 5 and wondering about run 3!
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.
