That’s it done!! Ever since I read it was a 20 min run I was panicing but it’s actually ok. I think the secret is not to over think it.

But I cut Sarah off by accident about 10 secs left to go. Did she say I should repeat the run before I go to week 6?! Help?!

No she doesn't. She says you've done well and don't worry if you didn't quite manage it, or similar. Welcome to week 6! :)

Seems so strange going back to a split run again, but I have faith in the programme!!

That one does come as a bit of a shock and a tester, doesn't it? But you've done it, which is a great sign of progress. Onwards to week 6! I did W8R1 last night when it was cooler and I still can't quite believe how far I've run now - it's a great programme. Keep at it.

No, you don't have to repeat that run Evie, well done, that 20 minute run worries a lot of people, I only slept 3 hours the night before I ran it, after the run I felt great and slept like a log the next night.

Me too! I woke so many times last night, checking the clock in case I slept in! Ridiculous! But I did it. Woohoo!!!
