Week 5 run 3

[alisonr54]

I did it! If you had asked me on week 1 I’d have said there’s no way I will ever manage 20 minutes running. I did it tonight and I am so happy 😀

Well done. That is the milestone run that I think most of us dread before and are elated by after. Enjoy the feeling and take it with you into the final weeks.

Well said and very true👍 (though I got into a bit of bother using the “d” word )

Congratulations and well done Alison! You're a runner 😊👍🏃‍♀️👏 it is a lovely feeling isn't it - you wait until you pass week 9 and see how you feel then 😉 it should be something else!

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Well done isn't it amazing what a great plan and your effort can achieve 😊

[spike07 Graduate]

Congratulations! I’m a bit behind you, I’ve got run 3 on Saturday but you’ve inspired me, maybe I’ll manage the 20minutes! Well done again 😊

[alisonr54 Graduate in reply to spike07]

If I can, you can 😀 thank you!

[Spammachine Graduate]

Congratulations! This is a milestone run. I remember feeling apprehensive about it myself :). If you can tick this run off, you'll be fine with the rest of C25k ;).

I hope so, thanks.

[Bluepup1 Graduate]

Well done🥳👏🏻! I’m also a bit behind you - aiming for run 2 tomorrow and the dreaded 3rd run Sun - one way or another (even if I have to repeat it) I’m going to run for the 20 minutes 🤪

[Ozbeth in reply to Bluepup1]

That’s me.. run 2 today and really thinking that I’m happy doing 5 mins at a time, do I really need to do 8 ... and then 20?!?! 😂😂 need to give myself a talking to and get out there!

[alisonr54 Graduate in reply to Bluepup1]

You can do it! I was amazed at myself I didn’t even think about stopping once!

[Ozbeth in reply to alisonr54]

I did run 2.. it was fab... Can't believe I can run for 8 mins at a time... Bring on run 3.. .. Saturday morning 😱

Well done! It’s brilliant isn’t it 😊 I finished W5R3 two hours ago and am still buzzing. Keep going-if we can do 20 minutes we can do anything!
