Got the title right this time at least! There is no denying that this run was a challenge. Again, I took it slowly, but figure I was still running, however slowly; after all, walking briskly for 20 minutes isn't a struggle which leaves me a breathless sweaty heap. But I did it. I will repeat this run before I move onto Wk6, but having come from struggling to run for a couple of minutes just a few weeks ago to this is testament to how great C25K is. And Jo Whiley is the perfect motivator.

Well done on running for a full 20 minutes. I’m right behind you I did run 2 this afternoon after work which is a first for me. It must be all the fresh air and the benefits I’m getting.

Challenges are there to be conquered... well done.

Week 6 starts with less than you just did... but it’s a tricky session. Repeating makes sense at this point if you feel the need.
