W5R3 did it!

[Phdgranny]

Just finished W5R3, all along I was dreading this one but I did it. When Sanjeev said just 2 more minutes and Amy Whinehouse came over my headphones I wanted to punch the air as I knew I had enough left in the tank to finish. Thank you for all the advice, when I turned at 10 minutes into the headwind, I was running along an elevated river bank so no protection I just kept saying “slow and steady” and my sons advice to keep looking ahead and relax came to me and I pushed on. With 2 mins to go I turned out of the wind and even lifted my speed slightly. Bring on week 6!!!

Well done that's brilliant! I'm just about to go out in the wind for run 2 of week 5. I'm also dreading the 3rd one, arrrggghh! Keep up the great progress 👍

That’s fantastic, well done. I just finished week 5 rn1 last night and must admit to be apprehensive about rn3. Glad to know I’m not the only one.

That’s an exhilarating run well done i bet you are smiling all day

Well done Phdgranny. It is such a good feeling😄. I finished W6 yesterday, it was a bit of a jump , but I got through it. We CAN do this 💪💪💪

[Fionamags Graduate]

Wow that sounded great! Good for you. It really helps to see people triumph each week!!!

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 🏃🏾
