Week 6 run 3! Yaaaay! I'm a runner!!

[Toonlou24]

I am beaming!! I can't believe I have just ran for 25 mins non stop and could breathe and feel fantastic! Must thank Gary Barlow and Ronan Keating who helped me through it on my new play list! Seriously though this app is amazing. I can't believe on 14th July my first run was so difficult and look at me now. 6 weeks later!!! cant wait for the next one. The rest days are starting to annoy me!!!!! Happy running everyone!!! And thank you for all your support and inspirational posts.

It's an awesome feeling ........where does this stamina come from!!??

[Toonlou24 Graduate in reply to mancbird]

I have no idea. I'm just amazed. I keep thinking its a dream!!

[Sunflower86 Graduate]

Woop woop! Well done!! Great run after the last two huh!! Enjoy your next one

[Toonlou24 Graduate in reply to Sunflower86]

Yeah! Really thought I still needed those walk breaks but no! Obviously not!!

[misswobble Graduate]

Walk breaks are good! Rest days are even better.

You're doing really well Lou. Take care, go steady and you'll graduate safely

Brilliant feeling isn't it! I am going to our local 'Parkrun' this morning (for my W7R1), not sure how I'll manage!!! I'm wanting to see how I manage on a measured distance and see what sort of time I get? fingers crossed that I can complete it!

[Toonlou24 Graduate in reply to Dee60]

Good luck. Sounds great. Let us know how you do!! I bet you surprise yourself!!

[Miles_Yonder Graduate]

Congratulations! It's a brilliant, wonderful feeling, isn't it? You're making great progress and will find C25K does that, has you astonished at your abilities and what you can achieve. Great going, keep it up!

BTW, I love your Gargantuan Pink Spectacles!

[Toonlou24 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Haaa! Thanks!!! And a glass of wine which is beginning to become a thing of the past! I can't believe I prefer to go running in a Friday night now!!!

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to Toonlou24]

Ah yes, I didn't see the wine; I was overawed by the glasses!

I know what you mean; running has become like that for me too!

Week six, in my opinion, is the toughest week, so very well done on getting through it. The return to intervals isn't easy and many struggle with it. I know I did!

[Toonlou24 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Aaaagh thank you!!

[paul727 Graduate]

Well done, just done my w6r3 as well, bring on week 7!!

[Toonlou24 Graduate]

Well done to you too!! Great isn't it! Graduation round the bend!!!

[GettingFitter Graduate]

Well done TL not long now. Don't miss rest days though. I tried and boy does it hurt afterwards. Good luck

[Toonlou24 Graduate in reply to GettingFitter]

Does it. I must admit I was tempted before reading your message. Got a busy weekend away coming up and was hoping to squeeze an extra one in. Prob not worth it. I really don't want an injury now either. Thanks for advice!!

[GettingFitter Graduate in reply to Toonlou24]

I think it's just it gives you the best chance of completing the programme. I did miss rest days to make sure I completed the programme before my birthday. Subsequent runs were a lot harder as there wasn't much in the tank. It was towards the end of the programme. One might not hurt too much but see how you feel.
