W5R3 in the bag 😁😁

[Burrows79]

I have got a right sweat on and my calves know they have done some work, but that's another week done and only 3 to go.

Time for a shower I think 😁

[Rignold]

Well done 5/3 is the biggie

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Rignold]

Thanks, I was definitely ready for my cool down walk when it came.

Onwards and upwards

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Great run Burrows79😊...well done to you.

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks ☺

[Frankel Graduate]

well done, 30 minutes seems realistic now, W6 a strange week though with run/walk for first 2 runs.

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Frankel]

Thanks, it does seem a bit strange that you go from 20 minutes straight to intervals again, but the plan obviously works as I couldn't run for the bus before I started.

How did you find W6?

[Frankel Graduate]

Found W6 ok despite the heat, i did take it slow on the final 25 min run. I believe in the plan as like you i couldn't run at all and now i'm up to 25mins!

Good luck on next week.

[Bonkersbrit Graduate]

Good for you!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Congrats, onwards and upwards. Will report in later, hoping to join all those on week six.

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Bonkersbrit]

Thanks, let us know how you get on

[KimLoulou Graduate]

I think I am scared of this run

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to KimLoulou]

There's nothing at all to be scared of, the plans been training you for this and you've got it.

I will admit to the last couple of minutes being difficult, not physically but mentally, but it's there and it's yours for the taking.

Go out there and smash it!

[KimLoulou Graduate in reply to Burrows79]

Thanks. A week to go tho the BIG one. Wk4/3 next x

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to KimLoulou]

Enjoy it, and remember, slow and steady especially in this heat x

[Paul46-ipswich Graduate]

Well done, yup that's it your now a runner, trust the plan , join a group and keep calm and carry on 😀😀

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Paul46-ipswich]

I'm not too keen on joining a group, I like solo runs where I'm left alone with my thoughts

[Bonkersbrit Graduate in reply to Burrows79]

I made it back. 😀😀😀🐢🏃🏼‍♀️😀🐢🏃🏼‍♀️😀🐢🏃🏼‍♀️😀😀😀😀😀. Not exactly speedy, in fact I covered less distance than on Wednesday when-only 16 mins running and more walking. But I did it, 20 minutes ! probably the first time in my entire life, I certainly can't remember any teacher inspiring me to keep going like Laura does.

I'm with you on running in groups, not for me, never will be.

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Bonkersbrit]

Well done 👏👏. I managed to cover slightly more distance but I ran at the same pace so I think I held back a little too much on R2.

I'm looming forward to W6 now but going back to intervals may feel strange, we do only have 3 weeks left though and we WILL do this, I for one am hoping to live a healthier, happier life and it's all thanks to C25K.

See you at the finish line

[Gillma Graduate in reply to Bonkersbrit]

Fantastic - I can't wait (week4) to get to where you are! 20 mins straight in two weeks!!!! Are you serious? Brilliant- so well done you 👏

[Maddee_6333 Graduate]

Go you! You're more than halfway there. Keep it up!

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

Thanks, and don't worry, I'm seeing this through to the end and beyond, I'm loving it

[Paul46-ipswich Graduate]

I know what you mean about a group, but I can only say that I wish I had started running with a buddy a long time ago, I found loismelia on here and have started running with her and it's so much more fun. Also the GRL and Parkrun are such an uplifting experience. Whatever you do remember that everyone of all abilities is on your side and there to help, not just those on here 😀

[resolution Graduate]

Well done!!

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to resolution]

Thanks ☺

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

[Gillma Graduate]

Very well done - especially in the heat. As Sarah millican says 'keep going petal!'
