Week 5 Run 3 - I did it! I did it!

[Murielbez]

I decided to go for the run in the morning so that I don't overthink during the day and ... I did it! I did go slow but still managed a pace of 7'/k including the warm up and cool down, and when Laura said I had done 10 minutes I was really surprised. Then came 15' and I was wondering what was going on as I was not negotiating with myself for once... and then the final 5 minutes which were actually ok too. It really boosted me that Laura explained that it was all down to the mind rather than the legs, I think it got my ego to make an appearance

I am blown away by this training. I can't explain how it works but it works so well for me.

Have a great week end everyone!

It's the end of my sabbatical and so next week I will have to do week 6 after work, and I hope I will manage. We shall see!

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Well done you, 20 minutes non stop that's really amazing and just shows you with the correct plan and your effort, you can do it 😊

[Murielbez Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you! I am really happy with the progress - can't still quite believe it

[Jazzyrunner Graduate]

Well done! It really really helps me, seeing posts like this - gives me faith that I can do it. It’s brilliant that you’re doing so well with it!

[Murielbez Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

I am glad if it helps you! you can do it!!

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Murielbez]

I hope so! I saw you do yoga too - I do sort of on and off - I should get back to that too. But maybe one thing at a time till I’m an established runner!

It does work! Well done, it's just the best feeling ever 🏅😁

Enjoy that feeling. That's your milestone run done and now you're on your way to the longer runs! Good luck! 👍🏻

[Murielbez Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thank you! It is a milestone indeed. Cant wait for week 6 now

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to Murielbez]

Beware, 6.1 feels like it should be easy after 5.3 but it will feel tough, but you can do it! 👍🏻😉

[Murielbez Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

ahh Thanks for the tip - I was thinking exactly that

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

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 🏃

Well done! I did this today to and I couldn’t believe it. I was clock watching a bit more than you by the sounds of it, but I managed it. Onwards and upwards x

[Murielbez Graduate in reply to Thisnurseruns]

I will be careful indeed!

[Murielbez Graduate in reply to Thisnurseruns]

Congratulations! Welldone. I think I am going to take two rest days to recover

[Thisnurseruns in reply to Murielbez]

Me to! I am now on holiday in the Lake District and there’s hills everywhere 🙈 I am used to running in flat Cheshire!
