I've so never seen myself as a runner but with the motivation of a friend who is a week or so ahead, ive stuck to it and completed all the runs. Today was the dreaded one and up until yesterday i couldnt see how i was going to do it as i was really struggling at 8mn runs but I psyched myself up, i read on here about proper breathing techniques and told myself 'i can do this'. Within 5mns of the run, i knew i was gonna do it. It was my easiest and most enjoyable run, i even sped up the last 5 mns and wasnt as out of breath as i'd been previously. The difference for me was proper breathing and music. Go for it, if I can do it....believe me, anyone can xx

I just finished week 5, and I did my weekly 5k (which is normally done with the intervals for the week I just finished) today. I ran the entire 5k with no walking breaks!! The last 1k wasn't fast and the last 500m weren't pretty, but I did it!! 42 minutes and 5 seconds of nonstop running! Crossing that finish line today was the most amazing feeling, knowing that I did it all, I actually ran a 5k.
