Well the day has arrived where I have to undertake the first run of week 4. 5 minutes, how is this couch potato going to manage this??

Can you let me know of any good running songs that lasts 5 minutes to help me achieve this?

Congrats on getting to week5! I didn't start using music until the 8minute runs - I don't have any songs that last for 5minutes but what works for me is for the last tune(s) to be right bangers! Black Eyed Peas Pump It/ Rihanna We found Love and Jess Glynn Hold my Hand helped get me through my 20minutes! Enjoy 🤘

If you listen to podcasts there are lots of DJ's that put out weekly podcasts that are a DJ set - so something like an hour of non-stop music. Lots in the techno/electronic/house genres, many re-mix popular music so you'll recognize songs. There are likely other genres as well, but those are the ones I like so I only know about them. :) Sometimes there the DJ does some talking over the music, others that's not an issue.

I made it :-) Its funny how last week 3 minutes seemed to last forever and this week its easy and the 5 minutes is the killer. Managed the first 5 minute run, just slowed it down but I had to stop for 30 seconds (I timed it) on the second 5 minute run.....gutted!!! So determined to do it on Thursday (my next run day) without stopping
