How to run 5km without stopping
It made me
happy 
"I ran 12km in the City to Surf, without stopping, in 01:05:06"
How I did it: Like I said, not only did I run 5km without stopping, but I actually ran the full 12km's without stopping. My first time, and I managed a respectable time of 01 hour, 05 minutes, 06 seconds.
I even beat some of my fitter friends.
I guess I was fitter than I anticipated. After only 6 training runs with my 2 dogs, running 6km each day, I gave the run a go... sure it was hard... but I didn't stop... and it was worth the experience.
Lessons & tips: Get started training immediately. It doesn't matter your fitness level, or how far you can run to start with. Just start. And be consistent with your training. Don't give up, hang in there, and you will be running much farther than you imagined after a short while.
