Wk 5 smashed!

Well I didn’t run my week I was away skiing, turned out as a first time skier, the skiing and a swim in the evening was exhausting enough. Thought I’d start wk 5 again, having did runs 1 & 2 before going away. I expected to be knackered and to struggle but was really pleased to find them really easy this time round. Completed run 3 yesterday and WOW! Can’t believe I can run for 20 minutes nonstop. Amazing program! My legs felt tired but breath wise I could have kept going. Just blown away with couch to 5k.

Congratulations 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 🏃🏾 😊

Well done for getting back to it. Sometimes a break is good. You come back fresh and your body recovered.
