I did it! I ran the whole 20 minutes, and I did it at my fastest pace so far!! What's more, at the end of it, I felt like I could've done another five minutes more. I stuck to the plan, though, and stopped at 20 mins. Was it easy? No. But it never really felt difficult, either. There was one point about the 16 minute mark…

Right then, I'm heading off to do W5D1 - the full 20 minute run. I may be gone for some time.

Eek! I'm doing it tomorrow. Good luck - let us know how you get on.

Well, just back from doing W5D2. I actually got in the car and drove 30 minutes to get to somewhere that was reasonably flat, as the steep hills around here have been a killer. The ups hurt my calves and the downs REALLY hurt my shins. So, I found a nice flat spot and did the 8min run/5min walk/8min run. It was hard, don't…

Nicely done. I've done W5D1 and will be doing D2 tomorrow. I'm already getting nervous about D3, the 20 minute run. I'm trying to be positive but, well, I can't see it happening...

I suppose it's the extra stress being placed on them by the sheer momentum of my weight! Then, when I get to the bottom and start climbing again, it's my calves that start burning. Either way,…

You posted right before I did. Great, I've got one more run and then I've got week 5 to look forward to. Joy!

I did W4D2 last night. It's my second attempt at W4, because I was on holiday last week and only got 2 runs in, so I thought I'd start again. I live in the Highlands of Scotland, surrounded by really steep hills, so it's quite hard going here. Last night, though, I managed all four running stages, and even managed to pick…

Have you tried the Couch to 5k running program? I'm on the 3rd week. Week 1 I could barely run for the full minute. Now I can do 3 minutes without too much trouble. Hopefully by next week I can move up with the 5 minutes, and keep building from there. You should give it a try.
