I did it!!!! I started crying at the end because I can’t tell you how huge an achievement this feels. Never in a million years did I think I could do this. And it was fine - had my favourite music on, lovely Sarah speaking to me every few minutes, kept it slow, did a little bit of going up hill (hard but a great sense of achievement and it makes you feel you’re flying on the level and downhill bits). Trust the programme!!!

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.

Very many runners have reported that they have cried after that run, they have also reported crying at the end of run 3 of week 9, a lot of emotion after they complete those two runs.
