Its amazing how much you can change your body's endurance in just three days of running. Week 4 was hell for me. the first 2 days SUCKED, then I did an extra day. The next two days were still tough but I was able to get through it without walking when I wasnt supposed to.
W5R1 was amazing. It seemed easier also. Every 5 minute run was a peice of cake. I'm actually excited to start day 2 now with the 8 minute run. Then.....dum dum dum.. the 20 minute run with no walks. We'll see how the next run goes for me. I can't wait.

Let me know how it goes! After being stuck in week four, week 5 seems like a breeze now. I did my first 8 minute runs today and it was so easy, I cant beleive how much I progressed from week four onto today! Good luck! I hope it went well for you!
Hi, firstly, well done you! I've really struggled with the first two runs of week 4 too....my legs just felt like lead, glad I'm not alone finding this week a bit of a struggle, although still looking forward to my last run of week 4, things can only get better right? I'm really loving this programme, I used to run before I had my two sons but would wonder why on earth I was doing it lol...so glad I found this c25k...and this site! :o)
Its awesome isnt it? At the start, week 2 was a little hard for me to do, just running a minute and a half and I was winded. Today I ran for 8 minutes twice with a 5 minute walk in between, no problem. Keep it up though. When you're huffing and puffing and wanting to stop, just think the next time you do it will be just a little easier each time
