I was a little apprehensive going into this week. Doing the 60 second run felt like it was pushing me some of the times. But this was easy peasy!! It almost felt like i must have missed something, but I listened to Laura the whole way, so I know missing something was impossible. This is the first time i've actually listened to the podcast. I was using a program on my phone that was just a timer and beeps. Perhaps it was listening to her and the music that made it seem easier. Whatever it was, i'm sticking with it. It's Laura from now on!!
I hope everyone had a good c25k day!

Great job, qdaisy!! I find that if I can allow my mind to concentrate on anything other than running that the time seems to go by much quicker!! The less I worry about how far I have to go or how fast I am going, the easier the run seems to be!! Hopefully, Laura and the music will give you the same experience!! Keep Running!!
well done. smhall is right, if your mind is allowed to wander and not focus on the time or distance you can relax into the running and get a great deal more out of it. It will seem to go faster and you'll tap into the stress busting benefits of running
Good for you, I was so unfit I actually had to repeat week 1 but since then I haven't looked back.
It is still hard, and every new stage is a challenge but I have been able to keep going, haven't repeated any more weeks (no matter how much I thought I should) because everyone who contributes to these boards will say the same thing - trust the programme and have faith in yourself - I have literally just completed W6R3 and am now only 3 weeks away frim graduating as a 30 minute runner (not fast enough to make it to 5k just yet) - I never would have thought it was possible when I started as an overweight, middle aged unfit beginner who struuggled with 60 second runs :o)
Keep at it - the satisfaction you will feel each time you reach a new milestone is AMAZING!
