Week 5 run 3

Well just finished run 3 of week 5. 20 minutes of a steady plod but wow that’s a great feeling sitting here sweating profusely with my fan to cool me down. At the start of the week I thought I wouldn’t stand a chance. Surprising what encouragement from a bunch of like minded folks can do for your mind set. So a BIG THANKS to all of you for the advice. It’s really appreciated 👍

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, brilliant.

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 🏃

That's your milestone run done and now you're on the way to the longer runs 😉
