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!

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
