My mum and I have just come in from couch-2-5-K week 5 run 3 where you run 20 minutes non-stop. I never ever thought I could do that much but we did and my mum was laughing and crying at the same time. Really gives you a feeling that you have do ANYTHING and looking forward to week 6 :)

That badge will be SO well earned!! Fantastic stuff and across the generations too!! Wk 5 r3 is amazing, isn't it?? I haven't seen anything like it on any other programme but I reckon it's a major reason for the plan's success. The world is now your (running) oyster!!! :-) :-) :-)
