W5R3 achieved today! (I’m new here)

[IAmCharliemouse]

Yes! That was great. I finished a couple of hours ago and still feel chuffed to bits.

Not easy, but slow and steady wins the race. I was also running a new route; not the usual streets near my house but in a park. Much nicer to not be dodging traffic, but hills were, er.. let’s just say a new challenge. And I ran into a dead end at about 18 minutes, which I really could have done without. I just backed out and finished with some cross-country.

Anyway, it was nowhere near as bad as I feared, and it’s amazing how far I’ve come. For the first time I completely believe I will run for 30 minutes soon.

My first post here, as I only signed up yesterday to read some tips on doing W5R3. I hope I can reassure others like so many did for me.

Congrats, it's a great feeling when you finish that one isn't it.

Puts a dent in the gremlins hold on you : )

I also did Wk5r3 today. Only stopped for around 20 secs whilst a dog tried to attack me, and I went off rhythm. Found it hard but did it. Was thinking wk6 would be a doddle but not reading some of these posts 😬. Good luck next week

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5 of C25K, that is a milestone run, 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 after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3.

Brilliant, well done you! And how annoying that someone put a dead end in your way - most inconsiderate of them!
