Well done!! I am envious. I am at week 6 run 2. I just completed w6r1 today and it was my best run yet! I didn't have to stop on the second 3 minute break and felt like I could run forever. This really surprised me because I had to stop a little on the 20 minute strait run. The body can be so unpred...

Thanks heaps.
I actually repeated the 2 by 8 minute run this morning and it was hard but I got through it and no stitch!!

Hi all, I ran the w5r2 today and failed. I ran about the first 6 minutes and then had to stop because of a stitch ( sharp pain in stomach) on the second set of 8 minute run it came back again. Is there any prevention or known causes of stitches? I am going to rerun tomorrow. Thanks for any help!! :?...

How cool is it that the body adapts and stamina builds!! Im at w5r2 today. I struggled at the end of week 4 and the first run of week 5 was ok. Im still worried about the 20 minute run but some how I think the body will cope!! Well done Steph

Thanks every one for the helpful info!! I completed the 3 five minute runs and that wasn't too hard :D. I am running the 2 by 8 minute runs this afternoon which I am curious to see how I go. Also I'm stressed about the 20 minutes coming up on Wednesday. Ah well, I'm just gonna run it. Thanks again e...

I have completed the 3 five minute runs and it was hard but not impossible!! Happy to be running the 2 8 minute runs tomorrow!! Thanks for every ones support.

Thanks so much for the replies. I completed w4r2 today and it was my hardest run yet!! I had to stop in the last 5 mins but only for 30 secs and then I ran the 30 extra at the end. Today was the first time I failed to complete the run exactly as the promps but I didn't feel so great at the start of ...

Hi I am currently up to w4r2. I am running in the mornings in Perth Australia some times still in 36 degree c temps. Progressively I am finding the runs getting more difficult and I was wondering if the difficulty level eventually plateu's or does it continually get more difficult?? I am really enjo...

Hi. I ran further in week 2 than week 3 also. Tomorrow is my last week 3 run. I found it a little diss appointing to be covering less distance but I'm sure week 4 will change that. I'll let you know how my first week 4 goes. Good luck.
