Just got back from the gym and done W5R3 which is a 20 min run AND I DID IT!!!!

I cannot believe I did it - just to think I had never run in my life before starting this program.

I have taken it nice and easy and even repeated some weeks. If I can do it - anyone can

Happy Friday 😊

Congratulations HR4L on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K. Onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs πŸƒ

Really encouraging post - thanks. About to start w5 and am slightly scared! Like you I never ran anywhere if I could help it so 20 mins a great achievement isn't it. Well done you! Onwards and upwards.

Thank you, if I can do it you can too! Most important thing is take it steady don’t go too fast and have a good upbeat playlist to listen to! Good luck x
