Yesterday I did the full 20 minute run ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

I did find the last 2 minutes fairly horrid, I was too hot and felt i had slowed right down.

So next time, Iโ€™ll have less clothes on and try and moderate my pace if I need too without feeling ive let myself down if I do so.

Iโ€™m looking forward to week6 ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

Congratulations Rubinstar 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 ๐Ÿšถ and runs ๐Ÿƒ

Always listen to the weather forecast on the days that you are going to run, if it's warm you don't need to wear any more than running shorts and a runners sleeveless vest. They say that apart from warm weather you should wear for your runs as if the temperature is about 4C warmer.

Hey me too!

I struggled round about the 12 minute mark and started to slow down and I had the same issue, I wore a hoodie and struggled with the heat, I think it didn't help I've been running in the same clothes be it - 1ยฐ or 10ยฐ

Im looking forward to week 6 too, defo going to shed a layer of clothing off.

Congratulations ! Such a great achievement ! Iโ€™m doing my Wk5R3 tomorrow and I overheat too but finishing is the goal and not collapsing ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good luck for Wk6 ๐Ÿ‘Š

Good luck! I normally run at night in the week for two runs so itโ€™s colder then, you forget the daylight brings some extra warmth! Definitely keep going, you can do it... rooting for ya ๐Ÿ’ช

Thanks so much, such a lovely community on here all rooting for each other. I normally run at 7am (as itโ€™s cooler/less people about to witness Larry the Lobster face) ๐Ÿ˜ณ
