I really cannot believe I did it - and I felt I could do more - so shocked I am almost speechless - bit of a pointless post but it was either this or putting it on facebook!!

I am not very good with small furry animals - i have a Banksy print that I swear is a gangsta guinea pig but I have been reliably informed it is a rat

Horray .. what a great feeling! Did you feel teary with happiness afterwards? I did :-) Amazing what our bodies can do when we go for it .. Couch to 5 K gets you fitter than you realise!!! You're all set now for week 6 :-)

That's the thing - when you go from 8 mins to 20mins you think it's impossible and now suddenly I can see myself doing 30 mins - the C25K people deserve a medal

Well done Emma - W5R3 is a great run and really makes you feel like you are progressing - I loved it ! Good luck for the rest of the program - you'll do brilliantly :-)

We are all cheering! Can still remember the fear and excitement of week 5 run 3! Well done, this shows the programme has worked (again)!!!!!! Week 6 builds on week 5, have a look at some of the posts to check it out. You feel so amazing after week 5 that you think week 6 will be easy. It is totally achievable but still challenging so get plenty of rest and take ur time!! Julie 😄

Now I am slightly apprehensive about W6R1 - have decided that the less I think about it the better I run x
