W5R3 - I did it! So chuffed!

[Fairydust99]

I posted a couple of days ago as I am repeating week 5 as I hadn't managed R3. Today I put some different music on, counted up to 5 then 8 minutes, thought I"d try 10 then I counted down 9, 8, 7 etc u til I looked at my watch and thought OMG only 1 minute to go!

I am so chuffed with myself, although even after nearly an hour my legs still feel a bit like jelly! Onwards and upwards though. Now I feel like I CAN do this!!! I never thought in week 1 when I struggled with running for 60 seconds that I"d be doing 20 times that!

The last song I had playing on my way home today was 'Army' by Ellie Gouding and I have to say that"s what it feels like with you guys😁- standing with an army! ( Or running with an army?!)

Well done you!!! It's a great feeling to smash this run, isn't it?! Great tactic to count the minutes up and then count them down!

You're absolutely right, you can and you will do this!!

Well done Fairydust99 -you did it! It's such a great feeling too achieve the week 5 r3 milestone - 20 minutes yay!

I think this is the most important run of the whole program, when you're transformed into a runner, and start to believe 30 minutes really is achievable. Beware week 6, you expect it to be easier after today's triumph, but it's a sneaky little devil, just keep doing whatever you're doing.
