Starting Week 4 of Couch 2 5K
Although I am loving it, I can't imagine being able to run a 5k all the way through! I have NEVER run before. The 3 minute intervals this week were tough for me but I did get through it. Is it really possible? Should I redo week 3?

Defintely!! You'll get there. That's really a great program.
I was never a runner and took it on about 2 years ago. When I first started I couldn't run a minute straight! Well last Sunday I ran my first half marathon!!!!!! And I ran without stopping! My point is, it's amazing what your body can do!!!!
Just stick with the program and I'm 100% sure you'll be able to do it!

You can do it!! I was so far from being a runner (hated it) but a friend convinced me to do a mud run in June so I started running last April. I started out hardly able to do .25 mile non-stop. Today I ran a 5k in under 35 minutes and am angry with myself b/c I know that my time could've been better.
Just keep your eyes on the prize and remember how much you've improving. Also remember that you are MILES (no pun intended) ahead of the person still sitting on the couch. I suggest writing your progress down so you can look back and see just how far you've come. That's what I did - by way of a blog (www.spartanintraining.wordpress.com). It's a huge motivator for me.
Good luck!

It will absolutely work for you. I have NEVER been able to run even a minute in my whole life. I just finished w6d2 last night. Last week I ran 20 minutes straight and was SO proud of myself. You can do it! I repeated week 4 like 3 times because I went away for 11 days and didn't do it while on vacay.
