Start week 4

That was harder than I thought it would be! Almost stopped before the end of the last 5 minute run. I checked how long was left and told myself off! I only had a minute to go so I picked up the pace a little and finished my run!

Well done, in a few weeks time you will look at your watch with 5 minutes to go and think "that's it, almost finished". You can do it. 😃

Huge well done... just trust the programme and believe in yourself. Every single run makes you stronger... and you are ready for the next one.

Slow and steady and on you go:)

Well done Teener2, that's the spirit! I am sure that the biggest challenge is the mental one ("I can't do this"). I think I've finally starting to learn to trust the programme (and really slow down). C25K is a well thought out process and each run really does prepare us for the next one. It certainly sounds to me that you've got this cracked, keep on keeping on.

Not what you're looking for?
