OMG, I am absolutely buzzing. Thanks to the support from this group i actually ran for 20 mins without stopping. Me, a slightly overweight 55 year old who has always been crap at any sort of sport or exercise smashed it! As MJ told me I had done it U2 were on my c25k playlist singing 'Beautiful day', it certainly is. Bring on wk6, I'm ready!
W5R3, I did it!: OMG, I am absolutely buzzing... - Couch to 5K
W5R3, I did it!

That's how it's done Sparkest! You completely deserve the buzz, have yourself a fabulous day! Be careful to not get carried away in W6... Staying injury free in the most important thing right now, small steps now, big differences long term 😉 enjoy!

Great job... over half way through this now and able to just run... it’s only tiny steps up to the 30 now... keep going just as you are.
Hi UNM I know you were following me on my rerunning of C25K after my sore hip healed, yesterday I ran🏃 my first full 5k in a time of 34.21😊. I was very pleased with the run but also felt very tired. 😴🏃
That’s brilliant news! You can rest today 😂. Nice time too. I’m having a weekend off, back on it tomorrow with 30 comfortable minutes.
Well "I have sort of rested today" I also love cycling and walking. Yesterday about 2 hours after that 5k run I went on a short 30 minute cycle 🚴 ride just to exercise my legs around a little part of that same 5k route. This morning I thought to myself 'why not take a leisurely walk round that same 5k course that I was so happy to complete yesterday'. So this morning I walked at about 3mph around it in light rain which when completed took me 61 minutes. I hope you and Miss UNM are keeping well.

You are doing great. 👏👏Enjoy the buzz - it will get stronger and stronger as you go the the rest of the programme

Congratulations! Now celebration time! Huge milestone in your bag.
I am so happy for you! You are actually further than half way 55% of the programme completed - 15 out of 27 all runs! That is amazing!
Rest properly, and remember not to underestimate week 6 intervals that look easy peasy, but many of us got punched pretty hard by W6R1. But you can do it! Just as always - slow and steady
Well done. What a great achievement
