Week 5 Run 3

[Skiwalker]

I'm new to running so can't believe I have completed week 5.I just want to give encouragement to anyone else taking up the challenge because if I can get this far so can you. I will be 65 at the end of the year so my goal is a 5K Park run 😀

Congratulations for running that 20 minute run, onwards and upwards 🏃 😊

Nice one Skiwalker, I'm one run ( and 3 years behind you) well done for completing the 20 minute run, you've got that Parkrun within your sights!

Thanks steviej99- runner is not quite how I would describe myself but definitely was a jog ! Pleased with my progress.

Great job so far... enjoy that parkrun, you have plenty of time to be ready.

Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing I wish you every success with future runs and a 5k Park run! WOW! 👍👍

Excellent progress Skiwalker.

I'm also on week 6 r1 (tomorrow).

This forum is very supportive so let us know how you're doing 😸

Week 6 run 1 done today- found it quite hard going- don't know if it was feeling the effects of my last run of week 5 or because it was hot but took encouragement from the forum saying good and bad runs, maybe that was my bad today! Run 2 on Wednesday so hopefully feel better with that one !

Hope you manage ok 👍

Thanks Skiwalker. Run 6.1 ✔

I took advice from Graduates who said respect week 6. Apparently it messes up quite a few c25k runners. Possibly because after 5.3 it looks easy...

So copy me. Slow and steady. Eyes on the prize 🏆 see you on the graduates podium 😸👟👟👟👟👟👟😸

Thanks for that encouragement- hopefully will feel better about run2 👍
