Well I've just done the first week 5 run. I'm so exhilarated. Never thought running for 5 minutes was something I would manage and enjoy! I have to pinch myself in case it's a dream. Anyway, it's a beautiful morning and the canal I run beside looked glorious. Yes I even managed to look around a bit. Thanks to all the good advice on here I didn't get stitch and I kept on going slow and steady. Run 2 might not go so well but I'll cross that bridge on Saturday. Keep running everyone .

I did mine yesterday and feel exact same. At the end of the last 5mins, I felt I could carry on!!! Just unbelievable 😁

I have my 2nd run of week 5 tomorrow and I had a peek at what was to come.

I'm trying to not do that. I'm frightened it'll put me off and it doesn't take much to make me stay in bed!
