Good going, jom! You'll find yourself smiling every time you read another blog about W5R3...I still do. It's just such a lovely moment when you've gone and done it....

Continued running success to you, and enjoy!

Brilliant! Isn't it just fantastic? It's so amazing when you finish the 20 minutes (I cried!) and think how far you've come in only 5 weeks. Very well done and I hope you enjoy a good rest and celebration.

I thought that was a real turning point, going out and running for twenty minutes really felt like going out for a proper run.

Somehow I alwasy felt slightly guilty about the intervals! I know I know but twenty minutes was the time when I thought that I could really do it!

I felt that was the point that I became well and truely bitten by the running bug. :)

W5R3... well that was a little more than I was expecting

on running. And I carried on until Jo told me to stop.... which by my reckoning was 23-24 minutes!...

W5R3 Great big grin on my face

headphones as I entered the last 5 minutes brought a smile...I was SO NOT born to run!!!

W6R1 harder than W5R3

W6R1 - Better than W5R3?!

For those who've done this more than once, is it easier the second time round?
