I'm into Week 5. I've completed Run 1 already this morning but I sneakily checked out Run 2 and 3.
The runs are all different this week.
Run 1 was tough.
I need some positivity for Run 2.
For those not there yet. Don't check. Keep it as a surprise. That's what I'll be doing after this week 
Yes they are different !Variety is the spice of life so they say !
Enjoy week 5 😁👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
We have all been there 😁
So, if you want positivity then the very fact that we all survived is actual proof that the program works.
You have nothing to fear. Every run prepares you for the next one. Trust in the program.
Big tip. Take it steady, calmly and enjoy your runs. No need to run like you are chasing a train 👍. Slowly slowly, slowly and you will succeed.
You know that this is a 9 week program designed to get you doing 30 mins (three times) in the final week?
How would you expect to bridge between where you are now, to 30 minutes of continuous running? Grab a cuppa, pen and paper and spend 5-10 minutes working it out 
Anyway ...
A reminder of what you've done recently:
W3R1 - you ran a total of 9 minutes
W3R2 - you ran a total of 9 minutes
W3R3 - you ran a total of 9 minutes
W4R1 - you ran a total of 16 (SIXTEEN) minutes
W4R2 - you ran a total of 16 minutes (again!)
W4R3 - you ran a total of 16 minutes (and again!)
W5R1 - you ran a total of 15 minutes (1 minute less than last week).
W5R2 - is a run of a total of 16 minutes (so this really should be easy by now)
Up to that point, you'll have run for a total 157 minutes, just over 2.5 hours across 14 outings.
As long as you go at the right pace (SLOWLY) your body is prepared ... however, your brain is telling you other things.
TIP 1: slow down to a nice easy jog
TIP 2: SWITCH BRAIN OFF
Lol! You can do it 😊😊😊

Relax and enjoy it.
I remember that and I worried that it would keep doing that to me. It doesn’t. I’m sure you will manage and week 6 will seem easier. Remember you can always repeat a run if you want to. Don’t repeat whole week just the run. Trust me you can do it and week 6 will seem easier. Good luck!
Yes I was a bit surprised too but the good thing is you are ready for it after the previous weeks. Just believe
After week 5 I realised that looking ahead is bad! Don't do it. You are prepared for this. You can do it.
As John_W says -
TIP 1: slow down to a nice easy jog
TIP 2: SWITCH BRAIN OFF
Embrace it. Enjoy it. (You will).
I use music. (I'm a Bass Player - so I'm always unpicking the Bassline or following the Drums).
If I slow down any more.... I'm walking my way through C25K 🙈 👍
W5R2: My first bad run - I've been spoilt by a treadmill
I've done it! I've graduated! 👟🏆🏃
I've been told to stop
I've been very naughty
And I've done it !!!
