So completed wk 5 run 2 last night. Was feeling worried about this run but first 8 mins not to bad however felt tired last 2 mins of second 8 min run. Now feeling a bit anxious about Fridays 20 min run! Everyone that’s done week 5 is the 20 min run really as hard as it sounds?

No. It's uber daunting but completely achievable. Start out even slower than you'd normally do if you're in any doubt about getting to the end. If I remember rightly you get motivating talks at 5, 10 and 15 minutes so it's broken down quite nicely for you.

Good luck!
