Just finished W5R3 and am so pleased with myself. I wasn’t looking forward to it at all and was convinced I would have to give up before the 20 minutes was over. I took in all the advice I had read on other posts and slowed down my pace....I think I was running slower than I walked! The difficult part was keeping my mind occupied, thinking about things other than how long I had been running.
My 15 year old daughter has been doing this with me and we are signed up for a 5k family charity run at the end of March. I am not sure we will be running the whole 5k by this time but I am believing more and more that I will be able to run this distance at some point soon...something I wasn’t so sure of in W1R1!

Congratulations 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 🏃
Good luck for your 5K family charity run with your daughter.
Thank you. Have been reading up on W6R1 and will take it steady. My friend is 2 weeks ahead of us and warned me not to get too ‘over confident’ on that last run as W6R1 can catch you out.
Congrats! Well done to you. I have just done Week 5- Run 1, so this one sounds scary. But so cool to read about people who have actually achieved it. Great news.
