Have just completed the final run of week 3 and also 3 weeks of not smoking. The running is helping the not smoking and vice versa. Smoked for last 22 years and have never got past two weeks giving up.

Still not sure of being able to run for 5 minutes as 3 was tough this week but I am determined to go straight into week 4.

you should be very very pleased with yourself :-) I gave up smoking 10 years ago and it took me a long time to get over the cravings. I hope that you enjoy the running and that it helps to to stay away from the smoking.

Just about to start week three myself.

and again well done to you :-)

Well done for both the running and not smoking. I'm a week ahead of you and was a bit apprehensive about 5 mins, but just went for it and it was fine. There's lots of repeating "I can do this" in my head during that first 5 min walk! I have found that if I focus really hard on keeping my breathing under control that my legs just seem to keep going. Good luck for next week.

Not what you're looking for?
