[Lotty41]

I cannot believe that I have ran tonight for 8 minutes solid its such an achievement for me, I cried with so much emotion (stupid I know) - shall do R3 at the weekend going to stay focus that I can run for 20 minutes - will post back soon!!

Well done! You've come a long way already and can rightly be proud of your achievement. It's not stupid to cry either - sometimes we're just so happy that feelings overwhelm us. So keep going and keep enjoying the achievements!

Hi lotty, I did the very same run today too! I was amazed I ran non stop for 8 minutes it's great isn't it? When I think back how hard week 1 was and now we have got to this. I am going to have two rest days before I attempt w5r3. It seems like a huge jump running for 20 minutesand I feel a bit nervous about it.Good luck, let us know how you got on😊

It was brilliant running for that long never thought I could do it. I'm doing the same as well my next run will be on Sat - let me know how you get on. Enjoy your rest days.

It's brilliant and you can be so proud of yourself! Crying is fine - shows just what you've achieved :o))

After you have completed C25k -- the time will come --- when you WILL catch yourself just casually saying (after somebody has asked you what run you are doing today) -- OH! I AM ONLY GOING OUT FOR A SHORT 10k TODAY -- or something along those lines !!

This was lovely to read - you should be really proud! I've welled up over this running stuff too! Good luck with Run 3 - go slow and you can do it! X

Thank you for you kind comments, glad it isn't just me that has been emotional over running.

It's not stupid at all. Now you're really making huge progress. Congratulations!!!!

p.s. You will all rock that week 5 run 3!

Very well done to you,

Best of luck on R3 I did that last week and shhh, almost cried too.

I'm stuck on w5r1. I've done it twice but not well so just keep repeating it, I think I'm scared of r2!! Well done 🙌

[Lotty41 Graduate in reply to pampaddy]

I was scared of R2 as well, but I thought I can do this and I did last night, I am nervous of R3 but you know what if I have to slow down a bit that will be fine, the main thing is to give it a go.
