Yes I did it!!! And it felt good!! Although for the couple of days beforehand I was confident that I could do it, when it came to it I was very apprehensive about it and I started it half an hour later than normal as I was nervous and faffed around longer than usual.
I got to the first 5 minutes and felt ok, not tired and although I wasn't watching the time, I was mentally thinking that there seem to be 2 songs between each 5 minute section, when Laura tells you how long you've done so far and that helped me better than watching the clock. To be honest I was quite surprised with how quickly it went.
It feels amazing to think that not long ago I was running for just 1 minute and now I've just done a 20 minute stretch!!
My mantra is, in Laura's words "it's just a light jog" and I've stuck to the programme religiously so that has definitely helped, I was confident that the C25K people know what they're doing and trusted in that and that all my previous 'training' would get me through. And it did
Onto week 6 now!!

Good luck with your next 'light jog', look forward to hearing how you get on
Well done, it's amazing how we all progress and this run is the point when you feel you can manage the rest, over halfway through a challenge that felt so difficult at the start. Enjoy wk6.
