Late Bloomer ! w5r3

Only just found this platform, have just completed W5r3, I convinced myself it was an error and when Laura started to speak I would not be doing a 20min run !! I even looked for an update :-/

Can’t believe I managed it, that first week I could only just manage 50seconds.

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 🏃 😊

If you’ve stuck to the plan you’ll be fine, as Laura says 👍

That's one of the things that's great about c25k, is that when you look back from running for 60 seconds and look where you are now . Well done 😊

Well done!! I did that run on Friday and I had been dreading it! Just done the first of week 6 tonight and found it hard but such a difference even from the beginning of last week!
