W5R1 done - can’t believe it!

[Latecomer]

Beautiful morning - but set out a bit apprehensively - knew what was in store! I’ve had a few setbacks with C25K - wonky arthritic hip and chest cough meaning weeks of absence at different times. Would I cut it? So set off very very slowly ‘kissing the ground with my feet’ and concentrating on my rhythm and the feel of the ground under foot - and did it! Hard not feel that this is my limit! Can’t imagine how I could do more but trust the programme to take me there. As for now - a large bowl of porridge and honey!

Great run... keep trusting, you're doing great.

Well done latecomer! You have done all the work to complete the next run, you have it in the bag, have faith 🤩🤩

Hello both - just realise my typo: I actually did W5R3 this morning - the full 20 minutes! That’s why I was so chuffed. But onwards and upwards. Thank you very much for your encouraging posts 😊

Epic achievement then late runner!!! You should be over the moon! Such a great run! And my favourite by a long way! Give week 6 a wary glance and approach it with respect: slow and steady. You may find intervals different after today. You’ll smash it though, if you can do week 5r3 you really can do anything 😀🤩🤩🏃‍♀️

Thank you jiggles7 - only just seen your post. I hope what you say is true! Just did W6R3 this morning. Don’t want C25K to end!
