Good god! Who knew this old heffalump could jog for 3 mins twice!! Last one gave me the demon voice in my head but I saw that off and completed in full! Have I mentioned I still smoke 15 a day!!! YES I will be giving up but doing it my way and not out of breath yet! 40 years smoking and 20 years no exercise - it’s ridiculous lol think what I could have been - oh ok let’s just concentrate on W3R2. (Unless I keel over first !!!)
W3R1: Good god! Who knew this old heffalump... - Couch to 5K
W3R1

I’d certainly advise against lighting up during a run... that’s just showboating!
Great job... you got this... take down runs 2 and 3 and then onwards!

Slow and steady and on you go.... well done you...but.. ditch the cigarettes,,, you are going to need all your breath for the runs to come
Lol even a hardened smoker like me could not do that. So week 4 is run day not a smoke day and that’s how I am going to give it up. Gave up 3 months ago for 6 weeks on will power - I forgot to fill my time though so this time I thought I would do C25K - well you might as well go whole hog as they say

Well done! You are doing great! The second 3 minute run is a real fight with inner demon. You won! Congratulations!!! In no time, you will be running for 30 minutes! But one step at a time. Let's do the W3R2 next mine is tomorrow O_O
Thank you - yes I think I was prouder of the fight for a minute in my head with that pathetic demon and winning than with completing the run.
Done my w3r1 straight through for the first time tonight, and I smoke too, so I feel your pain. Well done it was a toughie!
Ah a fellow breather of the smoky air - well done to you for completing your run
Well done that is brilliant I did that run yesterday and I thought I was going to die but I survived lol.
I am not a smoker, but I have happily over eaten for the last 33 years so I more wobble than jog. But I am determined to get this weight off so I can jog effortlessly lol. Keep up the good work detemined50 slow and steady wins the race 😁
