Finished Wk 5 run 2 this morning.....found it not to bad but yes the jump to 20 mins for the next run is daunting.....but I guess someone smarter than me has worked out that this progression is right !

Everyone feels the same. Trust the program it works.

Rememberas others have said keep your pace steady. You wI'll find it will get easier after 10 minutes.
