OMG! OMG! OMG! ....I did it, i jogged for 25 minutes. I was worried when the snail and slug nearly passed me I was going that slow but nevertheless I did it. Covered 3k in total including the warm up/down. Not bad for an obese 57 year old EX couch potato. Banging headache still after 2&1/2 hours and I have drunk 3 pints of water. But I did it and I am still breathing....feel so chuffed. I do need to believe in myself more to face Week 6 and the 3x25 minutes runs I will be doing (note the I will be doing). Thanks again for encouragement everyone...and good luck to all with your next targets.

Well done, you sound very proud and rightly so! You're right, you can do Week 7 and you will!! A lot of people find it good to leave the intervals behind so keep doing what you're doing and you'll be fine!! :)

Snails and slugs always put on a spurt when they see runners coming. Twenty-five mins is fantastic. You are nearly there now!
