Well done......it is a milestone.

If you are still prone to tell yourself that you cannot achieve things, then you may find this post about mental approach useful healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Your legs may carry you, but your brain can stop you in your tracks.

Congratulations to you SJA2295 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 πŸƒπŸΎ, even if it was a bit of a struggle, you made it. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

Well done on completing it. That was my favourite run of the program. Such a good feeling to run for a solid 20 minutes.

I spent 24 / 48hrs preparing myself for it though. So mentally, I was well prepared.

Have a look at the post that IannodaTruffe shared. You might find it really helpful.

Happy running!
