omg, omg omg OMG!!! OMG!!!!! I did the last run I actually managed the 20 minutes, wow it was soooo hard for me, I hear Lauras voice and thought she was going to say - well done you have run for 10 min you are half way but she said you have run for 5 mins keep going, I did keep going but twice I thought I was going to have to stop and throw up but I kept going, once I had finished and stopped to walk my legs were really wobbly just like jelly, but i was soooooo pleased that I managed it.

I know people will say you felt sick becuase you were going to fast, that is not the case with me, as I only run slow anyway, any slower and I would be walking.

The only thing I wish I could feel is..... enjoyment while running, it just seem hard work all the time. out of breath etc, I do wonder what is the point really huh.

Come on everyone if I can do everyone can because I am small. I have fibromyalgia. I hope I can walk tomorrow thats the only problem now lol.

Good luck everyone

Oh well done! I have just done my week5 run3 too and I was equally exhausted and wobbly afterwards! Plus, when Laura told me it was only 5 minutes in a nearly cried! I'm glad that I'm not the only one who felt like that!! :) good luck with next week!! :)

Well done littlejan. I had the same at 5 minutes then ok until 15 minutes. I also get the feeling that i might throw up and like you don’t think I can run any slower.

I’m looking forward to week 6, the first 2 runs look manageable but the 3rd is going to be hard again

Keep it up, we seem to be at the same stage, maybe we can compare notes as we carry on?!

Good luck next week!
