This morning I completed w5r3. Yeah me!!!

Before my first attempt I was rather concerned and then when I did the run I was so dissapointed when I only managed 15 minutes BUT thanks to all the lovely support I received on this forum I got back in my trainers this morning for a second try and did the full session. It was hard work, probably more so mentally than physically but I did it.

Thanks for the encouragement. It made all the difference.

Congratulations Scram 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 and runs 🏃.

Don't worry too much that that was your second attempt, you achieved it, that is the main thing. 😊 🏃
