I was exactly the same when I finished Wk5R3 on Wednesday. 8 minutes sounds like ages when you're only used to running for 5 minutes, but it is totally manageable. I was more worried about the 3rd run, but you'll find you have the same feeling after running for 20 minutes - there's really nothing to worry about :)

No I think listening to future podcasts would be the worst! I just read the summary of each run for the week ahead. It lets me see where the progress is. I won't be running until Monday either, but I'm not complaining! :)

This is good to hear, I ran W5R1 this morning and was wondering how i'd cope with 8 mins, and then 20 on run 3, I'll just have to take each run as it comes. Still can't believe I am doing this, and enjoying it too.
