I am so happy. W5R3 complete despite all my fears, and the next run looks easy.

As so many people say; who knew I could do this after only 5 weeks. If you are starting out: believe in yourself and in the programme (oh and listen to Laura) xx

Congratulations! It is a great feeling isn't it?

As IT said, though, W6R1 catches a lot of people out. It did me.

You'll do fine, but don't be despondent if it seems tougher going again.

You're doing brill though.

Thanks. Feeling invincible ATM

by tomorrow I will be more reasonable

But y'know this programme has got me going from couch to 20 mins running so far and I am proud, I think (hope) I can deal with the new tough

W5R3 is just the BEST feeling when you achieve it. Savour it and remember how it feels, so you can call on that feeling any time you have doubts about running in the future - and as the others have said, watch out for W6R1! Looks can be deceptive :)

Thanks, I will be appropriately respectful of the programme but ATM I am just shiny pleased with myself
