Proudest screenshot of my life! Can't believe I did this and didn't feeling like lying down and dying half way through! Legs were getting heavy towards the end but delighted with this. Good luck to all the other week 5ers with this one in sight.

Thank you! It doesnt half! I think it's the impossible-ness of it, 25 mins seems still a bit off but completely doable now. Imagine this time at week 1, I never thought I'd be running for 20mins without stopping. In week 4 some of the 3 min runs almost defeated me. Onwards and upwards now

Hello! Yay, well done-I’ve just got back in from this run too and wouldn’t have thought I’d have got this far in W1!

Think we may have shared the same legs as mine also felt the same towards the end but we did it! 🌟😀

Woo hoo congrats on your run. It's an amazing feeling!

Congratulations on your 1st long run. It's an amazing feeling isn't it. I also did my week 5 Run 3 today too and all went well.

Keep up the good work and see you in week 6.

Thank you. I've been averaging just under 10km/h on most runs and I thought I had slowed it down for this biggie, inadvertently came out of the blocks too quickly!

If it’s a comfortable pace stick with it. You’ll feel when you need to back off a bit if you need to. Good luck for w6!
