I've done it week 5 run 1 completed on my second attempt. arms raised in victory and a loud yesss as Laura says 'thats it slow down to a walk'. Felt like I'd won a marathon! Never thought I'd be able to do 3 lots of 5 minutes. Mind you I have lost half my body weight in sweat and could probably heat a small village with the warmth coming from my very glowing red face.

Well done. It's a great feeling every time you step up. I've found week 5 a challenge (more mentally, I reckon), but despite the negativity gremlins, it is achievable. :) First run of week 6 tomorrow. Good luck with your next one.
