Just done run2 week5 really didn't think I would manage it but I did even with music giving up in the second 8 mins, just amazed that I've come this far thought I could, unfortunately just looked at the third run. , blimey!

Oh, don't sweat it. If you can do the 8 minutes you can do the 20, no problem. I constantly amazed myself throughout the C25K - it's mind over matter. From this point you'll begin to realise what you are really capable of 😉

Enjoy it!

Wow well done for getting so far, wow 20 mins running that's a lot, I'm only on day 2 so early days for me- but this programme does work and has been calculated correctly to make sure we can do this 👊💪

Ooh you peeked Oldfloss says never peek as it can be a bit off putting. But if I did it then you can and you will. Well done especially without the music - that really puts me off my stride. Keep going - watching your progress run by Run. That sounds like scary stalking - mmm just meant it to be an encouragement ....

Self belief is all you need.

I didn't think I would be able to manage the 20 minutes but it was nowhere near as bad as I expected. You can do it!

Not what you're looking for?
