I am finding it very encouraging to read others posts on here at the same stage as me. It is good to hear the struggles and the positives - lets me know we're all going through this together.

I've just done W3R2 πŸ˜€was an effort tonight after a busy day at work but luckily winds had died down and managed to get home before it got dark! Feel glad I pushed myself to do it tonight though. Still managing to take my dogs with me so is good for us all. Glad we're at the same stage πŸ‘

Lol I've got a miniature Jack Russell whose little legs go like the wind, think I may be carrying her later on but you never know, am sure she could still outrun me! The other is a Whippet cross who trots along and I'm sure she's thinking when are we going to start running then! They're good company and the run feels pleasurable as they're there plus they get extra walks/trots/jogs!

Impressed you're getting up at 5am. I just tried not to think to much and just get on with it. It worked for me for run 1 anyway.

I absolutely LOVE morning running.

I travel a lot with work all over the place so have to squeeze them in where I can.

5am runs are now a happy place.

Just follow the podcast and you can't go wrong, useful tip about not being too bouncy, which I think I was!

And the great thing is.....everyone in front of you has been where you are.

Nobody gets to join this awesome program at week 5 or 8.

We all start at the same place.

And that is why we can all sympathise and empathise with those coming through as we were all there.

W3R1 is only he beginning.....you’re going to LOVE what’s coming!

Slow and steady.

Slow down.

Then slow it down a bit.

Enjoy the journey.

On week 5, run 2 will be at 7 am tomorrow morning. I look forward to the runs, but have repeated the last one of week 4 and so glad I did. Run 1 wasn’t too bad at all on Monday but they start to increase run by run now instead of week by week. The slow, slow and then slow it down is really good advice. It builds your stamina so I’ve found. Keep going and most of all enjoy it 😁

I never knew 5 o'clock happened twice a day until I discovered C25K! The programme is so good you'll hardly notice the time and distance by the time you graduate, good luck & enjoy!
