W5D3 complete!

Honestly can't believe I ran 20 mins non-stop this morning. W5D2 was such a struggle for me - it took me three attempts and even then I barely scraped through that last time - so I thought this might be a total mess, but it was...fine? I had to have a word with myself at minute 10 as I came up a hill out of puff and really wanted to call it quits, but I went nice and slow when it levelled out and moved past it. The last three minutes or so were tough, but by that point I knew I was so close and just needed to keep on going.

Roll on Week 6!

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 🏃🏾 😊

Absolutely brilliant, well done for keeping going when things were tough.

Enjoy week 6, which is where I am now ( about to do run 3 tomorrow).

As others have said, having completed that 20 min run today without stopping will stand you in good stead for week 6.

👍👍👍 enjoy it.

Yay, well done you! It’s a benchmark run so be proud. Take it easy on the next one though as it can catch people out 👍😁
