So happy that I've completed week 5! I was a bit worried about run 3, and at the start of the week, I was really dubious whether I'd be able to do 20 minutes non-stop. However, after run 2, I could feel myself becoming a bit more confident. Anyway, the 20 minutes seemed to fly by! I divided it up into 5 minute chunks in my mind - thinking, 'well, I can run 5 minutes no problem, so let's just do that 4 times'. I've been buzzing all evening, so just thought I'd share it with you all, and if anyone's worried about run 3, there's no need - if I can do it, anyone can!

At that start of C25K I thought there was no way I could run for 20mins, but like you found it fine. Actually looking forward to wk6 run3 this weekend. Keep up the good work!
Well done John_2510, just completed w5r3 myself, so pleased with myself!
Well done John. I am right behind you and due to tackle w5r3 today or tomorrow. I'm lying in bed giving myself a prep talk!

Yay John! Brilliant run and brilliant attitude! You knew you could do it, and you smashed it! 👏👏👏🏃🏃🏃
That’s that landmark out the way! Onwards to W6. Have a read of other people’s posts on it. The first two runs pack a sneaky punch, but you’ll be fine if you stay slow and respect them. 😀

Well done, such an achievement. I'm doing wk5 r3 this weekend and have been worried about 20 mins nonstop. Seeing posts like yours are helping to reassure me that I can do it!
