My body seems to have got used to running for 5 minutes, only troubled with the last one, how it will cope with 8 minutes we will see.

The programme prepares you for each run Patrick so you are ready. Just take it very slowly. Really well done.

I am back to week 5 tomorrow, so hope mine goes as well as yours did. When I first did week 5 I found run 2 the best out of all the runs I did so I think you'll be fine

You're coming along well Patrick. I think you'll be ready for the 8 minute run when you come to it.

Well done Patrick. The first couple of wk5 runs are good fun. You'll be fine with the 8 minutes.

It will cope! Our bodies have this remarkable trick of just cracking on with it - it's the mind thats the hardest bit. Good luck! I've got mine tomorrow :D
