W5R3 Fears Allayed!

Hi, so several days ago I posted saying I couldn’t see how it was possible to do the 3rd run in week 5. On Wednesday I did run 2 which wasn’t too bad to be fair 😊. This morning I did the 3rd run and actually succeeded in running for 20 minutes yay 😁 it wasn’t easy but with all the positive words and advice that was offered to me I did it. So I just wanted to say thank you to those who gave me the confidence to believe in myself so I could do it....you’re all stars ⭐️ onwards and upwards X

Great job. You’re going have to redefine “impossible” now, and a lot of times in the future. Slow and steady through the intervals that start week 6 and you got this.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but as UnfitNoMore says 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 🏃 😊 👍
