This morning marked the end of week 3 on my C25K journey and once home and cooled down I realised that only 3 weeks ago I was terrified about having to run for 60 seconds at a time yet I am excited about trying to run for 5 minutes next week!!!

After looking at what the plan has in store for me over the coming weeks I have to admit I am nervous as it seems to jump quite significantly in week 5 however even though I get tired I enjoy it so much.

Sunday I am going to do my W4R1 as part of my local 5k fun run and just plan on walking the remaining distance once my C25K app stops as I am not covering 5k quite yet.

Happy times ahead!

Bril! Me too 😁 I ran for the bus the other day, only for about 1 min but was so proud that I did it.

Good luck on Sunday. I am hoping to be out there too with W4R1 💃🏻

I have my W3R3 tomorrow. Definitely an amazing feeling knowing you can run for longer each time. I took aggggeeessss to actually get off my butt because i was daunted by the 1 min running! Now I can comfortably run for 3 mins and am too looking forward to the 5 mins next week!

Good luck and keep going!
