With a bit of fuel to spare!!

Ok - as you can see from the pic...it’s sloooow and steady, and I am a fair way from 5k yet... but wooooooooooo!

Happy Happy Kat. This time musically inspired by 80s pop classics about believing I can fly, no mountains being high enough and having my breath taken away!!

W6 - bring it on!

And W5ers..... you can do it 😄😄

Planning it for Monday - seems to be a catch out one oddly - will stay steady!

Congratulations Kat.

Have an unofficial halfway badge.

This was a serious milestone to hit.

Rest well and prepare for week 6, it seems to catch people out, so remember your pace.

Great job.

I agree with your concern but having just done W5R3 I agree with everyone else, trust the programme, go slow and you will amaze yourself

Well done. I did mine earlier. I was dreading it and didn’t think I could do it. It was easier than I thought. I didn’t always manage to breathe in through my nose after 10mins but I stuck with it, calm and steady. I never thought I could jog for 20mins without stopping. So happy!!

Yes indeed! I Hardly thought it possible. My mum (87)still doesn’t think it possible! She knows I wouldn’t have run for a bus before I started c25k!
