Hi

I have been doing c25k since the middle of may. I have had to take breaks due to illness and injury (not running related) so I’ve repeated some runs along the way.

Today I’ve done w5 r3, my dreaded 20 minute run. It was abit warm but I stuck at it. The most amazing feeling finishing. Here’s to week 6!!!

Well done, that’s a real milestone on your journey to graduation. It's tough in this heat, but keep going!

Thank you it did feel amazing after feeling it was impossible. Yes the heat makes it so much harder.

Well done! It's a great feeling to show that one who's boss. Good luck with week 6; I'm hoping to do the first run for that week tomorrow.

Well done! I hated that run. Did it in Spain and was too hot even at 10am. Don't let week 6 surprise you. Many have thought W6D1 would be easy and go off too fast!

Yay! The 20 minute run is a turning point, you are doing great. I hope weeks 6, 8 and 9 roll by nicely. Good luck!
