did not think that was possible - first few mins hard (not sure why) 3 to ten no prob found ten to fifteen harder but then once only five mins left I was fine - even enjoyed it! Felt my legs wanted to open up to greater speed maybe next time

Well done! Many find the first few (10?) mins hardest, its like your legs have forgotten how to run! Even after running for years my sis still says she feels that way till she warms up. About the speed thing, a good tip - if you feel you can! - is to speed up and run as fast as you can for the last stretch of the run. Good luck x
