Was getting stressed about this. It's all in the mind. Give yourself a check over as you're running. Can I breathe? Yes. Are my legs working? Yes. Just keep going then! If you're listening on the app then there is encouragement every 5mins and a 2 minutes until the end reminder. π
W5r3 it's not that bad! Honest: Was getting... - Couch to 5K

This will be me and a frIend on Sunday. Feeling apprehensive but keep telling myself we've managed every run so far so there's no reason why we can't do this one. I even found the two 8 min runs far more comfortable than I expected so hopefully I'm ready!

I'm dreading this one too π±. Just completed wk4 run 3
Know how you feel - I was there last week. Just done w5r2 - and dare I say r3 is less dreaded now. If I pause during it so be it but I think some semblance of jogging should be possible - maybe. I find the 'imagine someone over the hedge doesn't know your legs are jogging' advice helps. Calms me down. Keep going!

Well done Nessiedog...π
Keep going.. that was the biggie done and dusted, banked in your legs.
You are doing brilliantly...
Great post, and great times even though I know we aren't to focus on times!
Thanks! I know it's not about time! I really want to do 5k within the 30mins. Feel better when there are less walking intervals but having said that it is good to have a recovery interval. Need to build my leg strength up and thinking about buying new trainers. Mine off eBay and I might treat myself to a fitted pair.
