Managed it this afternoon! Can’t quite believe that I’ve jogged for a full 20 minutes. John_W is right - it’s all in the head; mental rather than physical and about total minutes run over the last few weeks. Thank you for your support!
Became a total beetroot and my lower legs ache, but well worth the effort.
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 🏃
Thank you! Will go careful then on the next run.
Great job, well done 😊 👏
It definitely is more mental than physical, trying to persuade your brain that your body is capable of doing it - & not listening to the gremlins 😂
Good luck with week 6 ☺ 🏃 👍
Agreed! Thank you!
That’s why I think listening to music really helps while running you that concentrate on a song why the going gets tough lol
Absolutely 😊 although sometimes the playlist has a warped sense of humour 😂 🎶
I am on a treadmill in front of the TV! Also distracting, though I have to put the subtitles on to be able to follow whatever is on 😆
Well done! By the way, if you want to tag someone in your post, just add an "@" in front of their username ...
"@John_W" ... try it 
Thank you @John_W 😆
Nearly right! QueenDiogenes - you need to type out '@John_W' and wait for the drop-down menu to appear and then select the name.
Well done what an achievement. That one is a huge one so huge congratulations 🥳
Brilliant, well done and thanks for letting us know how it went. This is my next run (if my cough get's batter I should be out on Wednesday morning). Reading success stories like yours is helping to build my confidence, I'm sure that if I believe I can do it I will do it, as John_W says's it's all in the mind. (I've also learned his name tagging tip here too!)
