Another success and I'm surprised with how easy I found it, it really does gradually build you up however I am still dreading running for 25 mins straight well anything about 10 mins straight really!
Does anyone have any advice for when it gets tough during the upcoming weeks? 
Just go with it you will be ready trust the program and all will be good slow and steady it’s not a race would be my mantra to you 🏃♀️👍
Thank you
Dig deep and have faith in yourself and this programme. Every run is conditioning you for the next run, and you can do it. Trust me, I felt exactly as you do; be prepared to be surprised and elated! Running for longer stretches is more a test of mental strength at week 5. Do not allow any room for negativity - be bold and tell yourself I CAN AND I WILL DO THIS!
Well done on your running so far, you are sticking with it, so feel proud.

You WILL be able to do it. I was dreading it too, but as someone explained to me, the first 5-10 mins of the run are the hardest because your body is still adapting to the energy demands of running. I genuinely found doing one longer run was EASIER than two shorter runs. Just remember to run very very slowly.
Focus on anything other than the time - don't try to run down the clock. You will get into a nice rhythm after about ten minutes, your heart rate will settle and you will just einjoy the moment. If you start to falter, slow-down.
Mental strength comes into play on these longer ones and a sense of determination. Tell yourself you will run to the next junction/postbox/lampost, etc and when you get there eye another goal you think you can manage. Keep doing this, until the coach calls run finished.
Do this and I assure you there will be no greater satisfaction. You will be so proud of yourself. And post on here so we can be proud of you too.
