After reading some of the posts about the dreaded week 6 I'm so glad that's done. It was quite hard work though, the second 5 mins were definately harder than the first, especially after the 8 mins in between! It didn't help that I went into it with a sore bum and left leg after ten pin bowling yesterday :) next step Run 2 on tue, looking forward to the challenge. Ive definately got the bug; going out on a Sat night for a run before a night on the town and actually looking forward to what Laura has in store next! Happy weekend y'all!

Excellent news, Leyther!!! Don't look now, but you are well over halfway through the program and soon out of the intervals and into long runs!! You will handle them marvelously!! :-)

Keep Running!! :-)

Well done Leyther1, It's weird isn't it that we found that 2nd 5 mins challenging, when we'd run a constant 20 mins last week :-) I found it quite a struggle. I'm due to do run 2 tomorrow .......good luck with your 2nd run :-)
