Can't believe I've made it to Week 6.

Having done the full 20 minutes at the end of week 5 I'm now beginning to think this is not as impossible as I first thought.

After a bit of advice. I'm really slow but figure slow and steady, thing is I wonder about trying to get a bit faster but would that be stupid?

I've been thinking the same. I'm on week 5 and felt at some points that I could push myself a bit faster once I was in a good rhythm - but I don't want to jeapordise all my work so far. Well done on getting to week 6 :)

The plan is to build your stamina and endurance first, by getting yourself up to running for 30 minutes 3 times per week.

However, if you feel you have more in the tank, then why not - just be careful not to overdo it. It would be a shame to lose momentum. Also, you could utilise your rest day for some cross training which will compliment your running and help to get you fitter and stronger.
