Don’t doubt the plan!

First rule of Couch to 5K club don’t doubt the plan.

29th July I couldn’t complete a full minute running! Today I beat the mountain of 20 mins.. anyone coming up to that stage and doubting it.. Don’t. Even my previous run I struggled to the end of the 8 mins

The plan works! I completed 2/3rds of a parkrun today in that 20 min run. Walked and a little bit of running at the end to complete the 5k. Next time I’m free for a parkrun I think I will be on target to complete the full 5k without walking.

Trust in the plan

Well done! Thanks for this. I needed the reminder! Finishing up week 2 and still feel like the step up for each week is going to be impossible
