    It does feel good once you realize, you can do this. Keep up the good work. :bigsmile:
    But maybe just a light snack before you go. :sick:

    Started week 4 today! I did jog both 3 mins and 5 mins. Had to go a lilttle slower, but jogged it all and never gave up! That was really challenging! 3 mins on jogging felt short compare to the 5 min!

    Week 4 day 2 this morning! Decided to jog slower from the beginning to be less exhausted during the last 5 mins. Great decision because while running that last 5 min, the 1 st time I looked at my watch, there was less then 1 min left. Plus I accidentally jogged an additional 10 sec. Very glad with what I accomplished this morning, specially knowing TOMs visit in less then 48h.

    Did week 4 day 3 this morning! Running for 3 mins not seems not long at all and my endurance really improved during the 5 mins periods. I can't wait to start this week 5... No idea what to think od that 20 min though...

    Started week 5 this morning! I can now jog for 5 mins in a row without beeing out of breath! I even jogged accidentally an additional 30 sec after the last 5 min. I really like to see and feel the endurance improvement. On w4d2 I thought I would really have to repeat week 4, but it looks like the program really works :) can't wait to see how a 8 min jog feels!

    Great work! I was so scared to do the 20 minute jog, I thought I would never be able to do it! And to my suprise, I did it quite comfortably!

    Started week 6! Because the intervals were shorter, I noticed I was able to run faster, that's great! Also thinking of buying myself a gps watch that calculates the distance and the calorie burn. Bought myself some really short shorts, and we're them in public for the 1st time! I lost 30.5 lbs so far (only 15 to go) so anybody who judge me on my upper thighs fat giggling can go fart in the flowers as we say in Montreal!

    You're doing great! It's amazing how you do improve and the 5 minutes will soon seem like a warm up when you start with 8 minutes jooging and so on - that's why this programme is so good! I did 25 minutes running non stop today (W7 D1) and I still cannot believe I'm running for that length of time! I remember other threads where people were where I am now and I didn't believe I would ever, ever, make it to there, but I have!

    I like reading your progress, and I'm happy you're doing so well. I'm in Week 4 now. There are some free apps you can try while you're waiting on buying a gps watch. Some of them are endomondo.com (i use this), runkeeper.com, sports-tracker.com, etc.

    Thanks a lot for reading my progress and congrats on yours as well! I will take a look at those.
