Went out at 5.30 this morning for my next 25 minute run. Ice was in the cars so much colder today. Started off well and was soon hitting the 12.5 minute mark. Carried on running at a good steady pace and was enjoying it. Started to think about how I’m going to get the energy to reach the 30 min run in a few weeks and thought I hadn’t herd MJ. Surely I must be on 20 mins by now. Aargh. Tech gremlins had hit and my app had paused in my bag!!! I unpaused it and continued the run to the end so I definitely know I can now run for 30 mins. My mapmyrun said I was out for 48 mins so I was running in total for 38 when deducting warm up and warm down. Not how I planned it as I am following the plan rigidly. I think I’ll take a couple of days rest and do R2 later this week. Have a great day 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
W7R1: Went out at 5.30 this morning for my next... - Couch to 5K

Very well done you...it is frosty this morning.. 2 degrees here... You did well and it has given you the confidence to move on happily
Take the extra rest day.. as you say... I am taking an extra one after yesterday's run too I ran for an hour .. legs are a tad tired
I’m quite annoyed as wanted to follow the plan rigidly. I never run any more than MJ says. However, it’s a great feeling to realise I can run for at least 30 mins and more. I’m definitely only doing 25 next time though if the tech gremlins let me. I want to graduate following the weeks in order. Loving this running though. Enjoy your rest after your long run 🙌🏻
Well done it's annoying when tech fails but you still know in your head how far you've gone! You've got this 👏
Well I did a lot more than I should of as carried on to finish when I unpaused. That was a huge run 😱
Fantastic 🏃🏼♀️
Oh my word, well done you! That is hilarious though
My legs are killing me now. Lol 😂
WOW TJM, you are doing amazingly well and so dedicated, 5.30 is very early. Well done you.
Thanks. Loving it 😀
Nice one! So despite the technical glitch at least now you know you can run for 30 mins!
SO no reason to have any doubt in your mind now prior to any other run as you approach the end of the program.
And well worth taking an extra rest day.
Yes, it has certainly built my confidence in being able to run the 30 mins so I am pleased with that. Definitely going to take the extra rest day. My legs are aching a bit this evening. I am so happy with my progress. I didn’t ever think I could run and also enjoy it 😀
It gets better 
Congratulations, you should be very proud! I've lost my running mojo. I'm struggling with getting back to it, actually enjoying it and sticking with it. I do one or 2 days per week of running for 10 mins on the treadmill then i'm done. I just want to do more and feel the difference it's making 
Are you completing the C25k or have you graduated before? I didn’t think I could run but following the C25k plan has been amazing. It’s boosted my confidence and made me believe I can do it. I am loving running right now. It has lots of other benefits for me. I feel more healthy, more energetic and loving doing something for myself. I think 10 minutes running is much better than not doing anything. Keep up those sessions and set yourself a target to increase. Have you tried running outside. It’s maybe more interesting. Good luck 😀
Congratulations. Tech problems are so annoying! Good luck with your next run and hope the aches don’t last too long 😀
I feel fine this morning so that’s good news 👌
