So I managed to do the W5R1 today and it went well! In fact, the 3min walk intervals felt kind of long!!! We'll see how it goes when I move up to 8 minutes running...but I'm not feeling as nervous as I was at least!

Have you been following it week by week, changing after 1 week? i am on week 2 at the moment and i'm nervous about long runs lol xxx

Congrats! I'm also week 5, and will be attempting the dreaded 20 tomorrow! I do think I'll be staying on the 20 for more than one session though (maybe 2/3x), to get used to running for that long w/o walking intervals

Hey! I was totally nervous too, but it's not as bad as you think! And if you're not ready to move on, just repeat a couple days or a week or whatever. I was surprised that I've been able to move through so far each week (yes, I have been changing after 1 week). We'll see this week though, since starting in week 5 the runs change daily. It's pretty cool though! I mean, it's hard to move up to the longer runs but not as hard as you think! Keep it up!

Thanks! Congrats to you too! How did you find the move from 5min run to 8 min runs? I might try it tomorrow already, we'll see. I entered in the plan for Bridge to 10k on my runkeeper app last night (in some early excitement to start that in 6 weeks or so haha!) and it was scary thinking about running for 20minutes at a time and repeating it a few times, with only 1min breaks in between!
Good luck with the 20 minutes!!!!
