It's taken me 10 weeks to get to this stage with struggles along the way including doubts that I could run 3 minutes let alone 5, but I have stuck to it running three times a week and have just had a successful 28 minute run. I actually ran further than my first run this week. To everyone who is just setting out on this programme - believe in yourself, stick to it, it works!
