Woohoo!! Wk5 R3

[Emma4004]

I did it! I can't believe it!! Like everybody else who has done this run, I didn't think I would be able to do it but it wasn't too had actually once I managed to let my mind wander.

How has everybody else's run been today?

I complete my W5R3 today as well. I know exactly how you feel, that self satisfied smile is well deserved!

Way to go!!! I completed W5R3 this evening too. I'm mid 50s and this is the first time in my life that I've run for 20 minutes without stopping. I don't think it's quite sunk in yet that I've actually done this!

[Emma4004 in reply to Latte_Lady]

Well done! It's such a great achievement & we really should be extremely proud of ourselves. Just a few weeks left until we're running for 30 minutes

This is so great to hear! I'm doing run 3 on Friday and am really doubtful that I can do itI managed the two 8 min runs today 'fairly' easily so we'll see. Although I had to stop and do the idiot jog at a crossing waiting for a break in the traffic. For the 20 min stretch I need to plan my route to avoid big roads!

You can do it! My wk 5 run 2 was awful (it was very sunny & I didn't have a bobble to tie my hair up so I was boiling). If you just take a nice steady pace & distract yourself it will fly by! Good luck & let us know how it goes

Well done everyone it certainly is a big breakthrough. I am on w7 now - 25 mins non stop. Laura suggested at the begiining to change route to make it more inetersting, which I did but this resulted in me doing the hillier bit at the end. Reversed it today and much better. Go us!!!

[Emma4004 in reply to Windswept1]

Well done! I'm planning all my routes making sure that I don't have to go up any hills- I'll tackle that when I've completed the programme!

[Windswept1 Graduate in reply to Emma4004]

Mmmm, probably a good idea but, I live in a place called Knock, the Gaelic version of which means hill, so no way of avoiding them.

Well done, I am so pleased for you I will be attempting my Wk5 R3 today so fingers crossed

Good luck! Let us know how it went!
