Couch to 5k week five run two in the bag. I didn’t take a day’s rest this time as I want to make sure run three falls on the weekend and I’m out tomorrow night.

It was tough but I did it. Got a bit of a stitch on 2nd eight minute run. It’s definitely mind over matter. I’m ready to attempt that big twenty min run at the weekend!

I did this today too! Loved it but was tough! Never thought I’d run this far before but dreading the next run....

Me too. Twenty mins with no walk break is a massive step up. I’m going to at least attempt it over the weekend. Let me know how you get on!!

I’m thinking if I can find some good runnings songs to match my pace I’ll be ok 🙈! Will let you know... x

I’m on the same run as you both, although I’m hoping to get r3 in on Sunday. Looking forward to it, in a sadistic kinda way. 😆🙂

I have W5 run 3 comming up must admit I am finding it daunting but having said that I never would have thought I would get this far. Weekend runs are far easier for me not so tired from work. Good luck keep up the great work
