Can’t quite believe I did it .... but I did ! I ran for 20 minutes tonight!!! Had to say I was really apprehensive all week and it played on my mind at work. However , the forum really helped this week with lots of very positive messages that made me believe I could do it! I am a runner and so proud of myself 👏👏👏

Congratulations on running 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 🏃 😊

Just had a look at week 6 - still elated about running 20 minutes. It looks exciting and scary but feel that if I can run 20 minutes I can run more ! It’s definitely in the mind 🤪🤪

Week 6 does catch out a few runners, but as long as you run and walk it slowly you will be OK.
