Well done SamNotSammy, you completely deserve that pat on the back! W4 R1 has so far been my nemesis... I started C25K last September and although I didn't find any of the weeks easy, generally needing at least on 'practice' run, I seemed to plateau at the end of W3! I practiced W4 R1 a few times and even managed to (just) scrape through it once but couldn't so it again. This was towards the end of the year so with this, Christmas and various life things all going on, I ran out of steam and stopped completely. I've re-started now and hopefully will comp-lete W3 tomorrow morning, meaning it's W4 R1 for me on Saturday morning. I will carry your post with me then and hope that it helps me get through to the end of it as well. Congratulations again!

Honestly I didn’t think I would be able to manage it with the running times going up and the recovery walks going down but I proved myself wrong. It may have been a fluke and I might not manage the next 2 runs for the week but I don’t care. Today I’m winning!!!! Good luck for Saturday, you can do it 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

Well done 💪🏼
