W5R3 I did it!

I’m so proud of myself, can’t believe I ran for 20 minutes! It actually felt easier probably after the 10 minute mark and the last 5 mins I actually enjoyed it! Never thought I would ever say that! May have helped running in the daylight for the first time! 🤣

Well done Synbabe , and so you should be proud of yourself! Those first toxic 10 minutes can be hard and thoughts of stopping are popping in and out but your determination has won this morning.

Good going. I agree, that first 20 minutes run feels great doesn't it. Amazing what we can do after just a few weeks.

Onwards and upwards!

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, you will be very proud of yourself 😊 🏃🏾. 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. 😊 🏃🏾

Will do, thank you! Does seem odd to go back to intervals but the plan seems to know what’s it doing! 😊

The plan does know what it is doing, trust it like I did and you will graduate from C25K in a few weeks time. 😊 🏃🏾
