Feeling awesome. I never in a million years could have imagined running continuously for 20mins. It was touch and go a couple of times though but set my feet going and focused on the road ahead and the music.

I'm starting to feel like a runner πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ. I never thought I'd be the person who runs before work but it really has set me up for the day

Wow ! Fantastic!

What an amazing achievement

I gave up after I couldn't do W5 R2 and haven't ran for weeks

BUT after popping on here and reading all the amazing stories of people's achievements I'm going to put the trainers back on and start again today

I WILL NOT LET THIS BEAT ME !

Don't give up for not managing a run! You might just be tired, having a bad day, still sore from previous run or whatever. Have a day or two's rest, repeat the last run you finished to get the brain back into success mode, and crack on! :-)

It's definitely 'mind over matter' πŸ™‚

Wonderful! Very well done. I started couch to five k back in 2013 and also cannot believe that I am now able to run 5k regularly at my local park run.

Good luck with your on going journey.......it just gets better and better.

I am on week 4 and stupidly looked ahead wk5r3 seems an impossible task I feel like I might do it reading this. Although I might do week 4 again just to make sure 😝

Lots including me thought it wouldn't be possible but we have all managed it - go for it! Concentrate on one run at a time.

I did the same, thought the same re repeating w4, but tackled 5 anyway. W5R1 achieved to my delight, and having read many posts about others who looked at r2 and r3, couldn't believe they could do them but did, I can't believe I'll do them but I guess I will! And you will achieve r1, and you will feel superb!! :-)

You will do this. Trust yourself and the programme. Just take it slowly

Thank you I'm going to do that no repeating for me

Jewel84Graduate in reply to Glamgran69

I was feeling the same last week and nearly repeated WK4 but decided to give it a go. Hey, nothing ventured nothing gained and it's no shame if a week has to be repeated. The feeling once you've done it is amazing. Just take it slowly πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸŒŸ
