Well i am back...run 1 of week 4...i.think its fair to say that to a total novice & un-natural runner such as myself its quite a big jump from week 3!!!I am very pleased to report that i actually managed to do it without stopping & am feeling weirdly emotional!!!Anyone else feel like that sometimes?its an achievement for me thats for sure x
Feeling a bit emotional...: Well i am back...run... - Couch to 5K
Feeling a bit emotional...

Absolutely, I graduated at the beginning of the summer and I am still mazed at how I am able to run these distances.
However, trust the programme. These jumps have been carefully calibrated to ensure that it is manageable for your body.

Oh yes, Claire, I hear you.
As you notch the runs up, you will continue to amaze yourself - day by day, week by week.
You are doing FANTASTICALLY well..!!
Get yourself a nice cuppa and revel in that feeling of achievement... tears optional 😉

Yes, of course, found it a great achievement while I was doing the programme, its a great feeling, felt tired after but a nice kind of tired and yes, they are big jumps, keep going, slow and steady..😊
Claire I know that feeling. When I was on the programme I was constantly amazed that I could actually do this new thing called running. You should enjoy that feeling, and be proud. I hope you have something nice as a reward - you deserve it.

Yes totally! Be proud =)
Yup feel very emotional sometimes, totally get it, well done with your progress
Thankyou very much everybody for your kind words & encouragement.it all helps immensely 😊 xx

Hi Claire I too am a total novice & un-natural runner, I felt the same as you and still can’t believe how far I’ve come. I’m currently on week 7 and although it’s not always easy I am now doing a slow & steady jog (tortoise jog) for 25 mins, it’s a fab app and I’m enjoying it 😉
Oh my goodness thats AMAZING!!!i still cant even imagine being able to do that!!!i go so slowly sometimes if i went any slower it would be called walking haha 😂🤣 well done x
Yup, I've wiped away many a tear... and had to stifle whoops joy too!
Well done you, slow and steady gets you there
Ah bless you 😊 x
