Just keep running, just keep running, just keep running. Why is it when Laura tells you there are 2 minutes left the 2 minutes takes longer than the entire rest of the run!

Anyway here's a picture.

[Feelingsilly]

You must be so proud of yourself!! And totally agree on Laura's updates... We fall out when she does those "only x minutes left..." Just give me encouraging words woman not remaining time!

I m so desperate for it too finish I ve worked out when she says only 60 seconds left by the time she has said it there is only 50 seconds left

[plop Graduate]

It's when she says you have been running for 5 minutes you think is that all !!! I'm really starting to hate that Everybody want's to live my life song.

[Slowstart Graduate in reply to plop]

Ah, wait till you meet Julie in a few weeks time. The tunes just get worse as the time you have to listen to them gets longer. It's character building!

[plop Graduate in reply to Slowstart]

Gee thanks.

So, week 5 done & dusted, and you didn't even break into a sweat. Nice one.

[plop Graduate in reply to 90ldfinch]

That's because it was freezing, I had my woolly gloves on.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

It is all relative.. 60 seconds is not long...unless you are sitting on a hot stove!

You are doing fine.. stick at it

[stevecramp]

I've told Laura to F-off out loud now a number of times.

I feel like this when she says,after ive ran one of the last runs in that set, "OK now slow down but keep that brisk walking pace" and I'm just there thinking I can barely run at walking speed let alone walk at walking speed ha ha but well done

[Indizulu Graduate]

Ha ha love it - exactly how I felt too!! Did that run last night - felt like a biiiiiiiiig hurdle jumped . Dare I say it - we ARE runners now ! Week 6 here we come! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Ah Plop , but what Laura doesn't tell us is that whilst she's barking out the instructions, shes sat with her feet up , playing cheesey tunes with a large G & T in her hand !

Aw you gotta love Laura, she was my best friend in the whole world ever for 9 weeks of my life and I will always have a soft spot for her , I even got to quite like the music in the end, one that sounded like a load of Russian Cossacks chanting and another one that sounded like someone was playing a hedge strimmer . Ha ha !

Well done Plop, its all coming together nicely , keep going, youre doing great ! xxx

At W6R3, I abandoned Laura, not helped by a buggy app! For run 3, I just set my timer on my phone and put on my own playlist. It was hard to get used to, time seemed to drag but after about 3 more runs I left her far, far behind! Do what works for you. If at any point you feel like she is holding you back instead of pushing you on, just have a go. If it doesn't work, you can always bring her back again!
