Just back after 4 days away so I was in two minds as to whether I should do w5r2 again but glad I just did it.

The last 5 minutes were hard and I know I’m really slow but I just ran for 20 minutes! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Thanks πŸ˜€ It really did feel like quite a big deal. I’m super excited given how hard 1 minute was just a few weeks ago. Enjoy yours tomorrow!

Very well done. Didn't the last 2 minutes seem like a lifetime? I'm off out later for R6W1, and relieved to see it's 'only' 2 lots of 10 minutes. Should be a breeze :-)

The last 5 minutes! Yes I’m relieved to see that recovery break in w6r1 too - should be so easy πŸ˜‚ Have fun!

It seemed weird after the 20 mins straight on Friday .

I’m just repeating C25k after a fractured ankle but it’s felt easier second time round as I KNOW I can do it this time.

Good luck for your next run
