Hi all, I have completed the programme now, with a best time of 26 minutes for 5k. I Have done nine 30 minute runs now and yesterday did my first hour plus run covering 11k. Think I will stick to 5k's from now on as it was exhausting. Hard to believe that at the beginning I struggled with week one. Anyways I am very pleased and wanted to say I found reading everybody else's experiences inspiring so thank you and good luck to you all.
