w5r3 I was so ready for that! Hot, sweaty and red faced but really enjoyed. Thanks Laura and the C25k team, what a great programme. Always had trust and never doubted. Nice steady pace for 18 minutes then the grandstand finish, breaking the tape at 10.2 kph - that's fast for my little legs believe me. Onwards and upwards w6 here I come

Brilliant Stevie! Bet you feel epic, and so you should. 👍

Treat W6 with a bit of respect, especially R1 and R2. They’re pesky! 😈 You’ll be fine if you embrace your inner 🐌😀

Well done on the milestone run.

That is the run that so many dread, for some unfathomable reason.

Keep running, keep grinning like a loon!

My specially selected playlist designed to conjure the spirit of my 50 year old 10k running self. Music from now and then, starting with upbeat Dia Lupa, The Killers Hot Fuss, Long Blondes and finally a thumping Trance track, Brain freeze to carry me home! Worked a treat

in reply to steviej99

Nice! Sounds like my sort of playlist actually Steve, I bet the long blondes beats are really good when running... I’ll give it a go on my next outing. Just had a listen to brain freeze on Spotify what a stomper to end on! Loving it.

Just been out myself and had a very chillled out run in contrast, it was one of the headspace podcasts, super chilled. I almost forgot I was running for a split second... very surreal! feeling nice and relaxed now 😁 good stuff 👍
