Week 5 Run 3

[Mitzie71]

I've just completed run 3 of week 5 - I can't believe I did it without stopping. I am so pleased. I never ever thought I would be able to run for 1 minute let alone 20 minutes when I started C25K!

I live in the country and I ran along the side of two fields, along the way I saw 6 hares, 4 pheasants and two horses - I think they helped distract me from how much more time I had to run! Feeling fab now. 👍

My next run is W5R3 and saw it was 20 mins, seems a massive jump from 8!!! I'm terrified!!!

[Mitzie71 Graduate in reply to troubleatmill]

I was really worried about it too, didn't think I would do it without stopping. You can do it!!

Your run sounds amazing both because you aced that 20 minute run and because of all the lovely flora and fauna you saw en route. Happy running!

[Mitzie71 Graduate in reply to Nervousnewbie]

It is lovely seeing the wildlife - those hares can run so fast! Happy running to you too.🙂

I am back again and just completed week 5 run 3. How I went from 3 to 20 I have no idea. Running slowly, very slowly was the key I think so not really sure it could be classed as running but I think I covered about a mile and three quarters with the 5 min intro walk so not great in terms of distance. If there was a steps per minute threshold I would fail that one. I wasn't walking but I wasn't running either. I think I have invented a new sport Trot 2 5K. Maybe I can move up to a canter in week 6
