You've done so well Shari - you should be proud of yourself

I felt the same as you, could hardly get through the first run. But have just completed wk6 run 2 tonight. I can't believe how this programme has got me this far!! I still don't consider myself as 'fit', but am certainly getting there. Keep going & believing, & you'll get there - honest! Good luck!

Hi Birgit. The last run of wk 5 is a non-stop 20 min run. Wk 5 is different from the previous weeks has three different runs, rather than just three runs that are the same. Hope that helps somewhat.
And thanks to everyone for all the posts - can't wait for my next run today!

Fab Queeny!! So pleased that the run went well for you!!
This programme is so unbelievably good - it is turning us all into runners! Here's to our first 5k race!!
Again, congrats on tonight's run x

Hey Queeny, good luck for tonight. I did my run yesterday. I made sure I paced myself, & although on the inclines I was very slow, I didn't stop & felt so proud of myself! I never ever thought I would do it, but I did!
You can do it, just imagine we are running along with you, cheering you on ...

Well, I just managed wk5 r3, the 20 min non-stop, & am a very happy bunny! Went really slowly at the inclines, but refused to walk, & made it! Am so happy, & love the fact that by following this app, I'm actually becoming a runner!!
I'm sure once your cold has gone, it won't take you long to get ...

YEEHAA!!! I did it! Yes, I actually did it! I ran (sometimes a very slow run, but still a run & not a walk!!) for a whole 20 mins & didn't stop!!! I can't believe it! I am so happy!
Thank you all so much for your encouragement and belief - I could imagine typing this as I was running around tonight ...

Haha!! I did it Jeaniedoll! I did my 20 min run tonight!! It was hard, & some of it i was running so slowly it could have been a fast walk, but i did it!
Woohoo!!
Before you know it, we'll be running a marathon!

Thank you all for your encouraging words. I was planning to try again yesterday, but just didn't get time. Hoping I might be able to get out in the dark tonight!
Ian, would love to have a run without Molly dog, but as a single mum of a 4yr old, the only time I get to walk Molly is my run time, or ...

That's fab!! I can do 5k in about 40 mins run/walking, but can't wait to be able to do it running all the way!
Fab job Ian!!
