W5R2 in the bag 👍

[Rigpig]

No issues at all, second running segment was slower than the first but no problem. Looking forward to the next one and beyond! This program is amazing, when I think back to week one and how long those 60 second runs seemed and compare it to what I’m achieving now it’s truly astonishing. If I can do this any one can do this 👍

So glad you’re enjoying c25k and well done for completing w5r2👍Just remember to drink lots of water and take it steady for your next run. It’s amazing how quickly this running malarkey becomes addictive 😁

We get called runners on week 6 Rig 😎 Amazing thought 👍

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Great running Rigpig. Being slower is good and will get you through the longer runs. Well done you 😊

[Enxo Graduate]

Well done! Keep on truckin’!

[Speedy60 Graduate]

So, is it the programme that's amazing, or you?👏👏👏

[Rigpig Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Bit of both I suspect I am genuinely astonished at how this program can change you and your expectations in such a short time though. Used in conjunction with this forum it's a truly remarkable thing and I wish I could get everybody I know to give it a go

[Runningroni Graduate]

Well done you. The program is amazing but you also have to approach it with a bit of grit and determination. Happy running. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[RunningMigster Graduate]

Brilliant, well done. I think you'll enjoy run 3 too!

[Tmv5658 Graduate]

Tomorrow is week 5 run 3. I cannot believe I will manage a straight 20 min run seems a huge leap from 2 x 8 mins !!

Still 5 weeks ago at the age of 61 was the first time I have “run” so anything is a bonus ... we will give it our best shot !!

[Pepperdad Graduate]

Im exactly the same, couldnt run to catch a bus 5 weeks ago let alone a minute without struggling. Wk5 run 3 will be happening tomorrow hmmmm 20mins non stop sounds terrifying to me but so did 8mins.

Just keep smiling and running I say, well done and good luck

[Grassseed]

Well done! I'm also at exactly the same point so 20 mins tomorrow! I usually run at our nearest park, but as it is rather hilly I'm going to a park a bit further away which is totally flat, to hopefully give me a better chance!

[Hatman Graduate in reply to Grassseed]

Might just as well run horizontally rather than up and down. No extra points for altitude. I found that a different route worked wonders, even if it was only the usual one backwards. Enjoy your flatter run. Up and down is good for building endurance - later. Twenty minutes gives your breath chance to sort it self out as you jog along at conversational speed. Now you are getting quite good at this - you runner you!
