Completed, no problem. First five minutes spent wondering whether I could do this and the next 15 minutes knowing I could. This programme is the bees knees. Seems a long time ago when 60 seconds felt epic, just a month ago. 🤓

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 🏃 😊

You were NOT wrong there, quite a shock how hard I found it. Completed and on to the next one in a couple of days.

Great job... that’s a huge milestone run. Took me a fair bit longer than 5 minutes to start thinking I could do it... think that thought got into my head somewhere between 18 and 19 🤣

Slow and steady into the intervals that steady week 6 and then you got this... happy running.

This is so reassuring as I’m due to do my wk5 run 3 this weekend and I’m very apprehensive!! I’ve read all the advice on here but thinking 8mins to 20 mins is a bit scary 😬

I thought the same, go for it and trust the program. Good luck
