W5R3 completed!

[KarinB]

Five week ago I struggled to run for 60 seconds and felt like my lungs would collapse, well tonight I have completed W5R3 and covered 2.5 miles, I started this programme not really believing that I would get far, I thought that if I could just do 5 minutes it was better than sitting on the couch....I really can't believe that I have come this far in such a short space of time.

Bring on W6!

Well done, it's amazing to achieve something that you thought would be unthinkable.

Just a few more weeks to go - week 6 is a bit tricky mind you - stick with it and you will amaze yourself again when you graduate.

Week 4 Day 3 tomorrow for me, then it's on to Week 5. I had a little trouble with the 5 minute interval the first time around so had to take an extra day at the start of Week 4. I finished the program on the treadmill early in the spring but when I transitioned outside, it seemed like I'd never run before! I was discouraged and reverted back to walking for a while. Then the summer was hot and my heart wasn't in it. Now, the mornings are chilly (just the way I like it!) and I'm back. I've signed up to run a 5K on Oct 18th with an old high school friend (reconnected on Facebook, haven't seen each other since school). We've recruited a few other beginner runners from our graduating class so there will be a bunch of us 47 year old ladies pounding the pavement. It should be a lot of fun and laughs I'm sure!! It's motivating me to keep it going though

So inspiring to read this post! You should be so proud of all you have achieved!

My W5R3 is in two days and I hope that I'm half as happy as you are when I'm done.

Congrats!
