Well that was surprisingly pleasurable after the first five minutes I got into a very nice pace indeed and just enjoyed the run - then for the last five gave it a shift up a gear to the end and really enjoyed it. I have to say the combination of the NHS strength and flexibility podcast is really supporting any previous aches and niggles I had, that and my super massage ball.

Looking forward to next week. Happy weekend everyone x

i think this one was a milestone run.

i flagged a little at half way but told myself i could do another 5 mins then only another 5 after that, which i could do.

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 🏃

So type in google NHS stretch and flexibility then hit the download button if you have android I’m not sure you have a podcast app as on iPhone or automatically goes in there if not just use straight from the internet - seriously it’s been a godsend no more pain anywhere
