Success (yesterday morning)!  6 runs of 90 seconds spaced by 2 minutes walking, with a 5 minute warm up and cool down.

I ran the same route as Thursday, but didn't cover much more distance by the end of the cool down (RunKeeper thought I'd done an extra 0.02 of a mile, but RunKeeper isn't that accurate).  During the third run I developed a stitch which eased when I walked; I ran much more slowly for the remainder, which at least meant I finished even if it was no faster than walking.

I was a bit disconcerted by GetRunning which was very keen for me to take a 3-day break, but I already did that from Monday to Thursday.  However, it let me override it, so that's ok.

I'm a bit reassured that you also didn't measure your week 2 run as being any faster overall than your week 1 run. I likewise finished, but wasn't any faster than walking.

I am still not confident I can run fast enough for long enough to get a stitch without exhausting my weedy lungs first. But I totally admire you for keeping going through one anyway!
