A Reflection on Completing Week Five, Run Three

[SpeedMaQueen]

I’ve purposely avoided reading too far on ahead

I did and I felt daunted, and it fair messed with my head

And so today, my trainers on and Laura in my ear

I set out for week five, Run three, the source of so much fear

It seems like quite a quantum leap

From 8 minutes to twenty

But I took it really nice and slow

And as for water - I drank plenty

My little legs are aching now

But though I am quite weary

I did it and surprised myself

It kind of makes me teary

So if anyone is reading this and you think you cannot do it

Believe you will, and trust the app, head down and power through it!

Ps. The run lasts 20 minutes- my smile will last all day! Happy running peeps!

Thank you- I am beaming from ear to ear! Haven’t told anyone yet what I am doing but it’s getting harder to keep secret- can’t stop smiling 🙂 happy running!

Oh, the joy of running undercover ! Do you go in disguise ? 😂

Ha ha! I did the very same thing during C25K - looked ahead and turned white when I saw my next run was 20 mins 😱. But you know, in my almost two years of running, that 20 min run still stands out for me as the turning point, a really magical run! Well done, SpeedMaQueen! Nothing to fear now! Enjoy. 😁👍👏👏👏

Thank you- it certainly seemed like a mahoosive leap! But achievable- thanks to the programme. Happy running!

A really Great report

And a really super run.

It's great to read a running post

That shows a job well done!!

So head into the next week

Take it steady, take it slow.

It works with every single run

So that's the way to go!!

Brilliant!
