Week five run two

When I started c25k I was reading up on all the weeks and got to week five. I decided not to look any further because week five was SCARY! 'oh shit, that's going to kill me' thought I 'it's ages away, anyway. Just get on with it'. Well here we are smack bang in the middle of week five and I'm not dead!

Oh, I still have run three to go. Maybe I'll be dead on Thursday :P

Ooh! Love the photo. You will honestly be fine the previous runs have built you up to this point. Enjoy nice and slow 👍

Thanks :-) I felt like I still had a bit left in the tank today, but still... twenty minutes is quite a big ask. Slow and steady!

Don't peek.. just take one run after the other. It all follows on. Keep it slow and keep it steady and you will be fine:)

That looks a great place to run too.... flat ? I envy you... well done :)

Thanks, I'm just relying on the app to tell me what to do, now. It is a great spot to run, a couple of little hillocks on one side and flat on the other. This is my workaday track :)
