Nice one! I start week 6 on Monday so it’s nice to hear a success story πŸ‘

Youll be fine. The first 2 runs are kinda odd. They look easy on paper! Stick with them though because the buzz youll feel on run 3 is amazing πŸ˜ƒ Good luck

Yep I did it today as well, posted details on another thread. Reckon I ran nearly 4k in the 25 minutes and covered almost 1k between the two five minutes walks, so I walked 2 more minutes to make 5k in 37 mins. Pretty pleased with that!

Awesome, well done πŸ‘ŠπŸ»!! I didnt time the walks, but managed 3.48km in the 25 minutes so was pleased with that. Im excited to start W7 tomorrow πŸ€—

That’s a good pace, not that pace is the focus just now as they keep reminding us but no wonder you’re happy. I had been trying to go a wee bit slower TBH and my pace dropped a bit on runs 1 and 2 of week 6 but I now think that was because I had misplaced my headphones! Found them yesterday and with my music back I speeded up again, odd as I don’t run with my ears but ho hum ... reason I wanted to slow down was to help my breathing but I didn’t have the same issue with that yesterday so maybe it will be OK.

I did it yesterday morning and I’m still buzzing!! Such a great feeling!! It’s so great knowing other people that are at the same point as me - we will all graduate at a similar time which will be really lovely. Good luck with week 7 too - I start that on Monday. Forgot to say - I gave up smoking on Feb 6th!! X
