Smashed w5 r3 - well sort of

[havetrainerswillrun]

It was the big one tonight. Been thinking about it all day. Would I be able to do it? I read lots of chats on here about other people’s feelings and advice on this one and realised it was mainly in my head. So I put on some funk, stuck my headphones in and set off. And I did it!!!! Me. Running for 20 mins non stop. Well jogging very slowly. But I did it. How cool is that!!

Congratulations on completing 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 after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3

Very cool.

This is super Cool! Well done! This is my plan foe tonight! I will try with Funk!! 😂😂

[havetrainerswillrun in reply to Wuweii]

Good luck - can’t go wrong with a bit of funk!! Let me know how you got on

[Wuweii in reply to havetrainerswillrun]

Well...

I Did it!! So chuffed, very slow and concentrated I was halfway and I didn’t feel bad, so that gave me strength. My playlist was a bit crap though... not find a good funk. Next run Jamiroquai and red hot chilli peppers 🌶! I will follow you. Next run on Friday!!

Well done VRB.

I have also just come back from the same w5r3. ✔️

[havetrainerswillrun in reply to Elisabeth3]

How was your run?

[Elisabeth3 Graduate in reply to havetrainerswillrun]

You will reach w9r3 in no time.

My run was very good.

The story is a bit long.

Was wearing ordinary thick socks, they were thinner than the running socks. And kind of slippery. After 6 minutes+ I stopped to tighten the laces.

But could not pause the app.

So, to run non-stop I ran until the 20 minutes were over plus the cool down time and a few more minutes.

I still had a cool down walk of 7 minutes.

It felt easy and I calculated again and again if I had done the 20 mins. And yes I had!
