I survived Wk 5 R3.....can't believe it!

Felt very apprehensive about doing this run this morning.....came on here before I went to try to get some motivation and positivity and it worked. I really cannot believe that at age 58, I can run non stop for 20 minutes. This place really is inspirational!!

That's brilliant, 20 minutes is such a breakthrough! your 58 year old self is awesome. I graduated on Friday and never in a million years thought I could do it, (I turn 50 in June). C25K is a really good steady motivator I've really enjoyed the journey.

Thank you - it feels really fantastic and tbh, I think I enjoyed that more than the shorter interval runs..

Yes it’s such a fabulous feeling when you realise you can do it! Very pleased for you. . I’m 66 and did this run on Friday, still smiling about it!
