Well done. It's a great feeling and yes you can make it. I found the beginning of week 6 tricky but it's all there to build up your stamina and you seem to be flying now!

I am sure you will be fine it's just going back to walking intervals was hard for me- not good at changing. They did make me look forward to more long runs though. I decided that's what they were for!😀
