    W4D3 complete... eventually. I gave up the other day with just 90 seconds of jogging left and before the 90 seconds was up I realised what a dumb *kitten* decision that was - just 90 seconds meant doing the whole 31 minutes again.

    Does your app tell you when you've gone far enough? The Zenlabs one has distance goals as well as time goals from week 6 onwards, but I don't know how I'm supposed to know if I've jogged for 1/2 mile or whatever

    @savannah21 I got you. Happy to repeat week 4. I am going with Sat early, Sun late and one day mid week. They have a Pride event in 8 days in the park right outside my office so post work runs are definitely out as the area is being fenced off as we speak.

    RunDouble uses my phone's gps to measure the distance.

    W5D3 done - 20m running. It wasn't pretty, or very fast, but I did it!

    Oh my - 20 minutes, didn't see that one coming so soon!

    Did W5D3 again so the husband could catch up - slightly easier, but still had a face like a beetroot by the end of it!

    Week 5 is a massive challenge! Well done!

    I headed out to my local park to run this morning and was 4 minutes into the warm-up when a thunderstorm hit. I will run in the rain, but not when there is lightning. I will try again after work. I'm on week 4- run 1/4 mile, walk 1/8, run 1/2, walk 1/4, repeat.
