Cannot believe I did it π . Iβd told my self if I can do this run I can do anything π bring on 5K!
Iβm really slow but they say slow and steady wins the race π
Thank you everyone on this forum youβre an immense support to so many of us π.
When I started C25K outside I couldnβt do 60 seconds and I really really struggled with my asthma. A change in asthma meds and support from group has changed everything.
Thank you so much I could cry!

I don't want anyone crying on C25K especially after completing run 3 of week 5, congratulations, that run is a milestone run, you ran it very well indeed, OK to have a tear in your eye, quite emotional.
Onwards and upwards to runs 1 and 2 of week 6 which sometimes catch out runners with their interval walks and runs after the non-stop 20-minute run which you have just ran, once again congratulations.
Do it. Itβs more about mentally being able to run that long than physical I found. Yes it tiring but the more tired you get you slow down. Running slowly is what builds strength and stamina π
Just done Week 4 run 1 and I've found a way to stretch time ...I can make 5 minutes feel like 10...easily. Just start running....when Sarah Millican says well done you have 3 more minutes left when you have run 2...I thought I had paused the timer by mistake...Its tough...done 2 *5 minutes and 2 *3 minute runs with short walks in between to get breath back . Now feeling as though week 9 might be acheivable though.
Ha I love having Sarah millican along for my run but I swear the other day w6r3 I think I would have happily slapped her ( Iβm not usually violent) when she said Iβd (only) ran for 12.5 mins π€―π‘π₯΅π€¬ weβre friends again now though!!
Well done itβs a massive achievement π I think itβs most peopleβs favourite. I know it was definitely a confidence boost for me. Onwards and upwards to week 6.π
Ah so moved to read your post....well done you for having the courage to take on C25K and do this great thing for your health. I wish you loads of joy and benefit from your running and we are all here in this forum cheering you on 100% ππ
