Wow, I still can't quite believe it. I actually just ran for 20 minutes, non-stop.... 20 MINUTES!!
It was tough and my legs started hurting after literally 5 minutes and I didn't know how I was going to push through until the end... But I did it 😁
Feeling very proud of myself and amazed at this programme right now! 🏃♀️
Congratulations Ember22 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 🏃🏾 😊 🏃🏾
Awesome!!! Congratulations. You’re a winner!! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much 😊 So surprised at myself!
20 minutes non stop that's brilliant. You should be so pleased well done 😊
Really well done. Thats great inspiration for me.
Keep it up!
Thank you! 😊 What stage of the programme are you at?
I've just finished day 1 of week 1 
Well done! I am on week 5 but in some ways, day 1 week 1 is probably the hardest. It took me probably 2 years to get to day 1 week 1, but I'm glad I finally got off the couch, and congratulations to you for doing so too.
Ditto. I've been 'talking' about it for a long time. Download the app months ago.
Finally, as the cold, dark winter months draw in, I'm doing it.
Congratulations 👏👏
I just finished my 25 mins run today. I start Wk7 on Sun.
Funny thing for me is the start of every run seems tiring. The difference now is that I seem to run that off and find my breathing is better.
At the beginning of course I needed the walks to recover but now I can run and recover.
It feels great doesn't it ! 😁
Don't be afraid of the 25 min run at the end of next week as I was. I actually found the stop start of second run harder.
You managed 20, you WILL manage 30 as will I 🏃♂️🏃♀️ 🎉
That's fab well done! 🏃♀️
I'm still struggling with super achey calves at the moment, which start about 5 mins in to running, so I'm hoping I can keep pushing through it and my calves will start to get stronger soon 🤞
I'm a bit nervous for the 25 min run on Wednesday but I've found the stop/starting of this week quite hard too, so I'm hoping the constant pace of a longer run will be a bit easier again.
Thank you having faith in me 😂 I have runs where I don't feel like I'm improving and want to give up, but I'm determined to see this through to the end 💪
Keep up your hard work and you'll be running for 30 mins in no time!
You are doing brilliant and your legs will get stronger as mine have.
I just hit a snag though...
Finished my second 25 min run on Sun Wk7R1 and found it easy but today I have a pain behind my left knee at back of leg.
My initial worry is that it is hamstring orientated.
My run day is tomorrow for WK7R2.
I am going to see what it is like tomorrow. Not sure if I should just go for it and hope it eases itself off or pause for a few days before carrying on.
So typical when I was just getting right into it and enjoying the longer runs.
Well done you 👏 sounds like you're doing great.....onto week 6 now and you should be proud of what you have achieved 👍
Thank you! I'm very proud as I really didn't think I'd get this far 😊
Oh my God well done!! I'm doing wk 4 run 3 later this morning and already I've started to dread next week, from 5 min jogging to a full 20mins?!
Don't worry if I managed it you can. If you have followed the programme you are ready for it. It's more a psychological barrier. Just go slow!
Thank you, I have forced myself to stick to the programme and not get carried away, going slow has been harder than I thought!
You can do it! I didn't think I could do it either but the programme really does work!
Congratulations. I did the dreaded 20 minutes on Monday and feel the same way. Enjoy the rest of the program. Best wishes.
Well done that's great! Thank you, you too. Good luck for the rest of the programme 😊
What a brilliant achievement
Well done Ember22 huge achievement 👏 you should be so proud of how far you've come! It's amazing what you can do by trusting in this programme isn't it 🎉
Fantastic well done, it's an amazing feeling isn't it? Just think how far you are from how you felt in week 1 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
It really is! Back in week 1 I never would have thought it was possible for me to run for 20 mins and now my next run on weds is a 25 minute run. Little bit nervous but I think I can do it 🏃♀️
Well done 🎉I'm feeling exited to reach your stage, very inspiring. Huge pat on the back. Keep going. 😀
Thank you! If I can do it then you definitely can! 💪🏃♀️
Hooray! That’s super! I remember the amazing feeling when I did the 20 min run, made it seem possible I could actually get to the 5k! I ran my first 10k last week! It’s amazing what we can do if we set our mind to it! Your legs will be tired but I Find that feeling goes a few kms in, just plod on through the tiredness! It will get better!!!!
Well done--I am your C25k twin--just did my own 20 min run last night and still can't quite believe it!
I am following the writings of Jeff Galloway and using the Run-Walk-Run technique to switch to different muscles before the pain starts.
Great, well done! That 20 minute run is a real landmark. 30 minutes coming up!
Well done Ember 22! That’s fantastic! 👍
It's a good feeling isn't it?! Well done
Well done ... you should be proud 👏👏
It's a really happy place to be, feeling proud of yourself and knowing you've earned it...very well done 🏃♀️🏃♂️👍😊
