You are not alone. If you read the blogs, the majority of us new runners couldn't fathom the thought of running for such extended periods of time. Just stick with the program, and your confidence and stamina will build as you conquer each challenge.

There is no way to fail with this program, because you do it at your own pace. Three sessions of each podcast is just a suggestion, but if you feel like you need to stay with a certain one for longer, then do so. The goal is for you to be able to run for 30 minutes non-stop no matter how many weeks it takes for you to achieve that level.

Personally, I did Week 1 four or five times before moving on. Today I did Week 7 Run 2, and ran for 35 minutes (I always try to do extra). Pretty soon you will be writing posts just like Zee11's.

Zee11, this is fantastic news! You are just storming along with this program. I bet you could do 30 minutes now, and not just 25.

Your words are very encouraging for others. Keep up the great work and attitude.
