Week 5, Run 3

[The-K-is-Silent]

Just run twenty minutes for the first time in, ever. Not much to some, but unthinkable just a few weeks ago!

[Nollie26 Graduate]

Well done you guys so pleased for you 👏👏👏👏 have just completed w5 r2 and am not sure I can do r3 🤔 but I’m damn sure given you all did I can too 😳 ( I hope)

[The-K-is-Silent Graduate in reply to Nollie26]

It’s not as hard as you think it’ll be; you’ll do it fine!

[notoutofbreath Graduate in reply to Nollie26]

Your brain will go "Hell no", ignore it, it's wrong, the programme has prepared the physical side of it. So you just have to tell your brain to go away for 20 minutes!

[Nollie26 Graduate in reply to notoutofbreath]

My brain is definitely saying hell no however it has hell no since week 1 😂 so I do trust the program 👍 but the sooner I do it the better methinks 🤨 unfortunately for me the next run is at the weekend with the beast from the east mk 2.

What’s the worse that can happen? I repeat it if I fail or delay it ☺️

Lots of smug and pink C25kers today.

Well done, but look out for curve ball W6R1........catches some out.

[WalkingWithLabradors Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Came back to this to say you were sooooo right. 😳🙄😂

[notoutofbreath Graduate]

I don't think anyone who has done the programme will ever forgot how unthinkable 20 minutes once was and how epic W5R3 feels when you've done it! Well done you!

[PilgrimSoldier]

Is it sensible to say that after seeing all of you do W5R3 today, that I'm actually looking forward to it. First though is Run 2 tomorrow after resting a sore heel for a couple of days!

[Nollie26 Graduate in reply to PilgrimSoldier]

Good luck tomorrow. I did it today 😃 hope it goes really well 🤪

[PilgrimSoldier in reply to Nollie26]

Thanks Nollie! Hoping the heel does stop me tomorrow but seeing everyone who has done the 20 minute run today is inspiring to just get on with it!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

I wouldn't say not much to us, that's the big milestone run! Well done you 👌🌟

Enjoy that feeling, it's a great moment 😁

[Elfe5 Graduate]

... on this forum it’s “much” to all of us! Very well done! 😀

[Michele2017 Graduate]

yeh good on you!! All easy from now on in! x

[Nictwit Graduate]

Woah there, everyone on here is impressed by anyone who does w5r3. We've all been there or are on the way to it. You're now a runner 😀😀

[The-K-is-Silent Graduate]

I’m sure my legs will forgive me soon!

[CDA1]

Brilliant well done 😊

Everyone on here who has done week 5/3 knows what a big achievement it is unless they have a short memory

Well done You 👍🏻
