Well...okay I haven’t graduated yet, but tonight I have completed W5R3 which was a huge mental hurdle for me! I’m extremely surprised with myself that I could run for 20 mins straight, after only running a continual 8 mins before. It seemed impossible on Monday, but it’s done now, and I would never have believed you if you’d said back at week 1 that I’d run for 20 minutes! Thanks all for your messages of motivation earlier in the week, it spurred me on on kept me going. Onwards and upwards to week 6 now!

Well done! Knew you’d manage it when I read your post earlier in week. Your on the home stretch now! - it was at the point your at now I really started enjoying it- I mean really really enjoying it.

I’ve just done week 8 run 1 and the ends in sight- hopefully I’ve completed by Easter Sunday. Like yourself, looking back you can’t quite believe how far we come in such a short space of time.
