W5r3 made it!

[Lifluf]

Well I managed my 20 min run this morning. Slow speed, small steps but I finished. My pedometer said I went further than normal but it's not true; just more steps because I kept my stride short.

I had no knee pain while I was running but, as soon as I started my 5 minute cool down my arthritis made itself known. But I did it and I never thought I would a few weeks ago.

Good on you for doing that ! Well done ! Past half way now and week 6 looks much less scary I bet

Surprisingly, i can see myself getting to the end now 😊

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 which you have just ran. 😊 🏃

Thanks for the warning. It might be tempting to be too cocky and start out too fast.

Fantastic, well done.

I did that one this morning too - feels great, doesn’t it. I admire you all the more, though, doing this with arthritis. What an achievement.

I think, on the whole, my joints are better with exercise. I just have to take 2 days in between and go slow. We all have our personal challenges.
