Week 4 complete...now onwards to week 5...help!

Ive surprised myself thus far by not failing a run yet. Its been tight though...towards the end of each run my legs feel like lead, and on runs 3 and 1 had gasping automated breathing for first min of recovery walk home. When i came over a hillock during the last 30 seconds im convinced i was moving so slowly i almost went backwards. When Sarah says i can stop i want to hug her and tbis week its felt like she's saved me seconds before id have to admit defeat. So week 5 is feeling like a speed bump up ahead...the one i will almost certainly not get in the bag first time. Am contemplating if rewarding myself at this stage with gait analysis and decent trainers would help with the next hurdle?
