I literally cannot believe I am typing this. I’ve just run for 20 minutes without stopping! Me!!

I managed to do the dreaded Week 5 Run 3 on the first try and I am so thrilled. I started laughing when I finished, I couldn’t believe it!

I’m actually starting to believe that I could finish this challenge now!

Well done. I'm on track to do this run on Friday so it's great to see someone who's just completed it.

Excellent, not so dreaded now, once you have ran run 3 of week 5 as you have, you certainly will be able to finish the challenge.

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 🏃🏾 😊

Thanks for the advice, I’ll keep that in mind when I do Week 6 Run 1 👍

Yay! Well done on getting through this benchmark run. A little warning - take the next one slowly as it has caught some people out - good luck 👍😁
