Guess what guys I did the challenge, man won tonight. I was thinking there was absolutely now way I was gonna complete 20 mins of running on hard concrete. But I did myself proud, there was a moment at the beginning when I saw a brick wall coming my way, but I pounded on through. Im sitting here, thinking Stephen, you deserve a pat on the back. Bring on week 6.

It was never in doubt :-)

Have fun with week 6. It challenged me but I whipped it, mostly due to sheer bloody minded determination not to give in.

Well done! I've got W5R3 coming up soon and at the moment can't see how I'll ever be able to do it, but I'll give it a go!

Nice work! I am a bit apprehensive about week 5 myself, but I hear it is mostly a mental challenge. I bet you feel pretty invincible about now. :)

Awesome - Well done you! I'm due to start week 5 but really struggling to get my head round the 'jump' in running times! I can't really believe I'll be running 20 mins by the end of next week! ;-)
