Wow, that was absolutely fantastic!! Thought I’d make myself a new playlist for this one. Put uptempo tracks for the first half to help me through the toxic 10 (I don’t run to the beat lol) n settled into a nice steady pace, channeling the spirit of the little Japanese slow jogging guy.

Did lots of singing out loud n even the uphill bit near the end was easy today, though that might have been cos Tenacious D came on just as I got there to help me along 😁. I was actually disappointed when Jo Whiley announced it was over, I could easily have run for longer. No aches, pains, niggles or tightness cane along to spoil it either. All in all it was just a lovely joyful experience 😀

Congratulations SeejillRunon 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 🏃, nice smiling happy photo of you Jill. 😊 🏃

Thanks AlMorr, I’m well aware of the intervals in W6R1, having seen you mention it so many times. Thank you for taking such good care of us ☺️

I like to congratulate, advise and help with any queries runners may have, but medical issues I advise people to see their doctor.

So well done Jill....pure happiness on your face on completing it and so nice to see. I’m really impressed that you can sing out loud too, I may try singing tomorrow but unsure people want to hear that at 7am (will leave that to the birds) I’m sure your going to enjoy Week 6 🏃‍♀️

Thanks! There was no one about to hear me singing, that’s the only reason I did it 😂. Normally I can only sing under my breath, but I slowed it right down today so I didn’t run out of steam. Looking forward to the longer runs now 😁

Fantastic - that's a real turning point in your running journey. The confidence you get from is is brilliant.

You should be so proud of yourself!

Onwards and upwards to week 6. :)
