I just completed week five. I remember not being able to complete week 1 episode 1- I had to repeat it. Just five weeks of running later and I'm running for twenty minutes straight. I can't believe it. I'm so proud of myself.
Not only do I feel fantastic, but it really helps keep my depression at bay- I get cranky if I don't run which is great motivation to do it!

It's literally amazing how well- tailored this program is. I believe you will be fine if you do everything you're told to do, keep hydrated and eat well
Congratulations to you Beteljio on running 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 ๐ถ and runs ๐
Glad that you are feeling fantastic and your ๐ journey is keeping your depression at bay. ๐ ๐
Were you able to finish the 3rd run on the first try? I just finished the second run and I was surprised to see that I have to run for 20min next time, it feels like a big jump from running 8min!
I did! She literally says 'this might seem like a big jump' and I'm like yeah I'm not gonna manage.. But its possible. Just have to battle through that leg burn and pace yourself carefully
Isnโt it great? Have to admit I never thought I would do it either. And I certainly didnโt anticipate the mental benefits that seem to come with running. Hurray for you! ๐๐ผ๐ Onwards (slowly, if needed) and outwards. ๐ข๐จ
Congrats on a great milestone run! I'm like you; if I don't run, I get quite cranky as well ๐ . It has been too many days for me lately due to a crazy on- call schedule .... so I am counting down until I can get a much needed run in ๐ฌ. Soon ๐ค(Tomorrow hopefully)
Very well done to you. Isnโt it great to have that feeling of immense pride in your own achievement, thatโs what I do love with the C25K program. Iโm still in a buzz that I can now run. Enjoy your runs. Happy running.
Well done to you. Itโs an amazing feeling isnโt it? I grinned like an idiot all the way home from my first 20 minute, and the same the following week on the first 25.
