Week 5 run 3

[Archer1]

Well today was the big day. I didn't think for 1minute that I would be able to run for 20 minutes but can you believe it I did it. I ran for 4.3 km in 20 minutes I can't tell you how great it felt. Starting to feel like a proper runner 😀

[Oaktree2]

Wow! That’s brilliant...well done!

[Archer1 Graduate]

I just can't believe I did it x

[Anna1000 Graduate]

Wow. That looks like you are going quite quickly. Not sure ill go that far. What do you use to measure distance. I already have music playing and the lovely sarah millican. Do you use another app for distance?

[Archer1 Graduate in reply to Anna1000]

Hi

Yes I use map my run I think it must be wrong though I can't believe I went that far but that's what it said so it must be right. But with the warm up and down i didn't run all of that way but that is how far I travelled in 30 minutes 😀

[Anna1000 Graduate in reply to Archer1]

Brilliant. Ill try map my run for my 20 minuter tomorrow x well done you. Amazing stuff.

[Archer1 Graduate in reply to Anna1000]

Let me know how you get on I feel that has really helped me as I felt that I would be no where near the 5 k mark but I have now realised that it is achievable and really I'm not that far off and I have surprised myself 😳

[Deborahchick46 Graduate]

You are a proper runner. It's a great feeling isn't it. Well done btw. 💪🏃

[Archer1 Graduate in reply to Deborahchick46]

It's a fantastic feeling thank you so much for your message

[Hidden]

I'm still not convinced you know. Until I get to that point and have a go myself, I reckon you're all telling fibs.

[Archer1 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

To be honest if I wasn't there doing it myself I wouldn't have believed it either lol

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Yes! You did surprise yourself... you are becoming a proper runner... and you so have this. Great job 👍

[Archer1 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you so much it has really increased my confidence

[Languid_Lil Graduate]

I know! It's wonderful, isn't it! Well done and yippee!

[Archer1 Graduate in reply to Languid_Lil]

Thank you so much 😊

[Gingernutter Graduate]

Well done Archer1 a fantastic achievement! I'm starting week 5 tomorrow so stocking up on peoples positive experiences to keep me focussed! 👍👍

[Archer1 Graduate in reply to Gingernutter]

Good for you to be honest I wasn't going to even try it. I though I will do week 6 run1 and miss it out and come back to it, but then I thought give it a go and see what happens and blow me down there's me running for 20 minutes. It wasn't pretty mind 😀

[Gingernutter Graduate in reply to Archer1]

Amazing what you can achieve when you're in the right frame of mind, fantastic 😁👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Jalk in reply to Gingernutter]

me too

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Good time for the 20 minute run Archer 1, if you run at that pace, you might get to 5K in week 7, let alone week 8 or 9.

[Archer1 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Do you really think so that would be unbelievable thank you for your support

[Taffinator Graduate]

Gawd I got no where near that distance on W5R3! Only did 3.3k in total 😞

Well done! ( I’m an old fart running here)

I enjoy seeing all the fab support and encouragement on here, it keeps me motivated to keep on plodding! 👍🏻

[Archer1 Graduate]

Thank you so much for your message of support it means a lot

[Jalk]
