W5 RUN3 yay!

[Racheypop]

It was on my mind all day but i did it! I took my own advice and slowed right down. I had to smile when i saw a couple strolling ahead of me and i made no progress in catching them up! 😂

Well done. This programme definitely works! Keep up the good progress.

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

You did it! Well done...thats a great feeling isn't it!😊

Don't worry about those turbo pedestrians😄, I think we've all felt like that! 😊x

Onwards and upwards....

[wyersmith Graduate]

Well done! It’s a milestone run and hopefully gives you a confidence boost into the rest of the plan. It certainly has for me. I start w6r1 on Thursday. Good luck!

[Dawnie16 Graduate]

Well done you ! I've got this run tomorrow and must admit I'm really slightly apprehensive 😏 going to get up early and do it before work...or try 😊😊

[Vickim12 in reply to Dawnie16]

Mine is tomorrow too 😬 so nervous! Good luck to you, I’m sure we can both do it 🏃🏼‍♀️

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Obviously they were Olympic speed strollers! Quite soon you will remember them has you catch up & overtake others.😀

Very well done! That run is such a milestone- more for your brain than your legs. 😄

Congratulations! I’m following the programme with my daughter and we do our W5 R3 tomorrow. The prospect is pretty daunting so I’ll follow your advice and slow it down (even more, which is already very slow!! 🐌) Good luck with week 6!

[Hidden]

Awesome!!! I bet you’re on top of the world. You’re going to love the rest of the plan

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Yes, the longer the runs, the slower I tend to do them just to complete the run, the advice is to go "slow and steady" I do that. On week 1 round 1 I completed a recognised 5k course in 40m 30sec, just doing the 90sec run, 2-minute walk, however, on the same course on week 3 round 1 my time was 44.30 as during the runs I did not go as fast as on R1.

PS I only train on this recognised course a few times, not every time I am training for C25K

I had a man with his young son toddling along in front of me last night. He must have thought me mad when he stepped to one side to let me pass and I stopped at the end of my 90 seconds immediately next to him and gasped 'thanks'

[BethMay in reply to Agaig]

Fabulous 😂

[Christie48]

We'll done you, I failed at 15mins on Mon morning, hangover and heat didn't help! Repeating tonight and feel really apprehensive 😕

[Bobbymahon]

It's worse when someone 30 years older than you passes lol but keep her lit and you will get there eventually lol

[Runninggranny]

Well done! Mine is tonight... I keep putting it off!!
