[Thodo]

that was 20 minutes of mentally battling with myself.

I’m PROUD of myself.

Feels great doesn’t it? Well done and keep going 🙂 🏃‍♂️

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 🏃🏾 😊

[Thodo in reply to AlMorr]

thank you! how does it catch people out?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Thodo]

Because the muscles in your legs were used to the non stop 20 minutes run of week 5, they don't like the run/walk intervals, however, just take the first two runs of week 6 especially slow and steady and you will be 🆗 🏃🏾😊

[Thodo in reply to AlMorr]

I’m just following the programme, it’s there for a reason!

slow and steady, that I can do 😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Thodo]

👍 🏃🏾

I’d love to know the science behind the distances.

[Thodo in reply to Hidden]

me too, can only speculate though!

[Hidden in reply to Thodo]

I found this interview with the creator of the plan. I don’t think there’s much science, more psychology. But that works too!! bigmedium.com/ideas/c25k.html

[Hidden]

Well done! I’m doing it on Sunday!

[Thodo in reply to Hidden]

you got this 💪🏼

[Hannasasop Graduate]

Well done Thodo it such a great feeling to have completed that run 😀Thanks AlMorr, you gave me the Same advice when I finished w5r3 and I have just finished week 6 which I found tough but got through it. Happy running 🏃🏼‍♀️

[Thodo in reply to Hannasasop]

[Leosmit Graduate]

For me, it’s the mental challenge that’s hardest... so super well done bagging week 5!

[Thodo in reply to Leosmit]

thank you!!!

[Eleanora55]

Well done! It took me two attempts to do the full 20 minutes but I got there in the end too. Keep at it and let us know what week 6 entails

[Thodo in reply to Eleanora55]

everybody goes at their own pace, I think my music definitely kept me going!

week 6 started today, was fine except the shit splints - I hope they’re shin splints anyway, dr google has given me the fear that I have stress fractures 😂🙏🏼
