Well the good news is that we made it and completed W5R3. But it was so cold and wet that my phone switched off and we lost Jo W about 5mins into the run. Luckily I had looked at my watch. Feeling chuffed and have just listened to the podcast at home 💪🏽

I've heard of iPhones turning off if they get cold , is that what you have ?

Who cares you did it you just ran 20 minutes non stop that's brilliant.

Well done you 😊😊😊

Thanks! Yeah, it’s one of those small iPhones that doesn’t like the cold. But, yes we did it!

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 but be careful about the first two runs as it's back to interval walking and run, they have caught out a few runners after the non stop 20 minute run that you have just ran.

Thanks for the warning! Is there anywhere to read why it’s back to interval walking and running?

I think that it is to build up stamina

Well done, 20 mins non stop - brilliant. As you know I did W6R1 today, and a number of people warned me about it being more difficult than you might imagine. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not HARD hard, but just take it slowly. 👍😁
