W5 run 3 ... App malfunction!

So... I did it!! In fact I did 22 mins because the bloomin app stopped!! Thought I was going to die, waiting for the lovely Jo Whiley to tell me it was just 60 seconds left... Then looked at my watch and realised I'd been running for 22 mins.. never been so happy and yet annoyed at the same time!

But... I did it!!

Well done and congratulations Ozveth! 👏👊👍😊 W5r3 is a fantastic milestone you've reached and overcome and a good introduction into what it will be like in your later weeks and after you graduate (in only a month's time!) when you just go for a run and stop when you're tired or are short on time. In week 7 you'll be running for only 3 minutes longer than you've managed today, which I'm sure you know you're definitely going to be ready for 👍

I wish you all the best in your upcoming runs and hope your app doesn't malfunction again 😅

Well done, and grrr to the app for stopping but now you know that you can run 20 minutes, no worries! That run was a real turning point for me, when I actually started to believe I could complete the whole programme. Onwards and upwards into Week 6, enjoy it!
