How on earth have I just managed to run for 20 minutes straight? For anyone worried about this run, dont be. Everything in the first five weeks has prepped you for this. So looking forward to the final four weeks.

Thanks! I’ve been wondering if I’ll be ok with it!

Of course you will be 🆗 with run 3 of week 5, just take that run slow and steady, once you have completed it you will be very proud of yourself 😊 🏃🏾

I think most of us feel daunted. But it seems *almost* everyone gets through and surprises themselves. That’s my plan!!

I like that word "almost", very few out of the hundreds of people who have ran, run 3 of week 5 have not completed it or had a short walking break about half way, so I am sure you will certainly complete it without any problems whatsoever. 😊 🏃🏾

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, glad that you enjoyed it.

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 🏃🏾 😊 🏃🏾

Wow well done. I’m hoping I can achieve it once I make it to week 5
