I'm so excited. I ran the entire 20 minutes today without stopping. I never thought I could do it, but it's done. I'm getting excited about what's next!

Never say never!

And excited you should be! That is a huge turning point in the programme and you've nailed it :) Week 6 can cause hiccups but just keep doing what you're doing (fantastically) and you'll be on the final furlong before you know it. Well done!

Well done! You've given me hope. I'm currently too scared to attempt it as it seems such a huge leap from eight minutes non stop. Maybe I will try later this week...

It does seem like a big jump but think of it as just a 4 minute addition to the 16 you've just done

,, that should say, 'can', also, as our lovely McFitty says, Week 6 does throw some of us... do not let it... you are ready for it, and can already do the runs...just steady and slow and go for it!

Brilliant, very well done!!!

That's the run I have just done! it's an amazing feeling.

To think that six weeks ago I got out of breath walking upstairs. It goes to show what a well designed program this is and that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

I think it's helped me not "reading ahead", so I don't know what I'm about to try before Laura tells me, so I can't be daunted by the prospect before its too late to back out on my warm up walk. :-)

Looking forward to week six now.
