Week 5 Run 3

[Karenlwarner73]

I only went and bloomin done It!

So pleased - wish I had pushed more but wanted to make sure I completed.

Is this what proper running (without the walks) feels like! 🏃‍♀️

Well done. You did the right thing. Speed and distance don’t matter in this programme, only time. You ran for minutes, job done. There will be plenty of time to work on speed after graduation if that’s what you want to do.

Well done, it really is a milestone run.

There is no need to push hard. Slow running builds stamina, which is the aim of C25k.

Keep it slow for the next run too.........it is trickier than it appears.

The link is to a post about why there is no need to push hard, not about W6.

Great run... good call not to push, it’s all about completing the run.

Enjoy week 6

That's fantastic - well done! I've got that run tonight, so I'm spending the day thinking positive thoughts to psych myself up. Slow and steady is the way to go!
