Wow, I did my 3 runs of 5 minutes!! The first always seems to be the hardest one for me, then I guess I sort out my pace and it becomes easier, the last 5 minute run seemed a lot easier, breathing better and feeling good!!! Bring it on!!!! Xx

I've got to confess c1air3, I'm still having to force myself to get off the sofa and get out there, especially as I have to do it in the evenings after rushing around most of the day. But I'm determined to prove to myself I can do it!! I'm not rushing it tho', Lol, I just about manage 2 runs a week at the moment.

I had he same experience last night with my W5r1 - first run was VERY slow and uncomfortable, second was better, third was so relaxed and good! :) And for the first time since restarting this programme 8 weeks so I actually managed to heed Oldfloss ’s advice about feet ‘kissing the ground’ rather than plodding heavily as usual!

Week 5 is really exciting. For the first few weeks, you seem to be making tiny steps, but week 5 really proves you CAN be a runner.
