You guys were all right (as usual!) Not only did I run for the whole 20 minutes, I could have gone on for longer! I also found it easier than the previous 8 minute interval running. I think it might be because my runs 1 and 2 are done between 7.30 and 9pm whereas my run 3 is done between 8 and 9am. Either way I am still riding the high and looking forward to week 6!!

I can only do it at the weekends as I'm already up at 6 getting the kids up for school in the week and my partner goes off to work at 4.30am. I am not going running before that!!

Well done - I did it on Saturday and still feel proud. Am just about to go out and do the wk 6 run 1. It is raining and windy but don't want to put if off. I ran the 20 minutes in the rain so should be able to manage today.

Well done, it's lovely to know that you've got that fab feeling and sense of achievement from the dreaded long run! Interesting that you think the morning run felt better / easier... I also tend to only do run3 on a weekend morning and the others weekday evenings due to work, kids etc same as you. It occurred to me long after the run 3 euphoria that it could well be the time of day that made it feel so much better. Like you, I enjoyed run 3 much more than the intervals during the week. It's a pig we can't do all morning runs, but hey, we're getting the job done anyhoo :) good luck with wk 6
