Week 5 done

I can’t believe I’ve managed to run 20 mins non-stop - think this is the first time ever in my 45 years!!! I’m so pleased with myself and for the first time I think 30 mins and 5k are actually a possibility! Also managing a pace just outside 6min per km so hoping I won’t be far off 5km by the end of week 9 😁 Think I need to treat myself to some proper footwear now I’m starting to consider myself as a runner!

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5 Harleysfield, 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 🏃 For most people including myself that 20 minute run is the longest run ever ran by them, it is quite an achievement. 😊

Amazing! Just completed w5r3 tonight too! Feel on such a high

Treat yourself to those new trainers and here's hoping you can get the 5k in the 30 minutes! 😀
