So w6r3 done, feeling great. It Was ok, last 5minutes I had to reallllly push myself. But I enjoy the longer runs more than the intervals... and I can not believe I am saying that! I honestly was not a runner at all, probably could say hated it, wasnt good at it, but I feel I'm getting somewhere following this programme. Amazing. I have a 5k event on Monday that i signed up for a couple of months ago in order to get me motivated to do c25k, so I think that will be a challenge. I just about broke the 4k mark today, not sure where I should be at on the plan?? Interested to see how far people are reaching during there runs?

Keep running guys, follow the plan, when you think "theres no chance I can do the next run" trust me, you really can!

Fantastic, well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ I completely agree with what you are saying - I have a friend that runs a lot and I would always say thatโ€™s not for me, I hate running!

Now I canโ€™t get enough and I am always looking to schedule my next run. 4K on week 6 is AMAZING. You will not be far off 5k at 30 mins if youโ€™re off at all. There is a poll on here showing how far each graduate has run by their last 30 minute run so please donโ€™t worry if you canโ€™t do it in 30 minutes to begin with. You will smash it. Good luck for next week!

Youโ€™ll be pleased to know there are no more intervals just running from now on. Many of us donโ€™t hit 5k when we graduate - weโ€™re really learning to run for 30 minutes. Youโ€™ll find other people walking part of the 5k so youโ€™ll be fine. Good luck!
