I was really worried about the final run this week with it being such a big step up to 20 minutes from 8 minutes . But I did it! I now believe I can do this... itโ€™s a brilliant feeling ๐Ÿ˜

You will do this. You will become a runner and in three year's time you'll be signing up for marathons. ๐Ÿ‘Š

Whoโ€™d have thought it! Just five weeks ago I couldnโ€™t run at all. Thank you for the positive response ๐Ÿ‘

It is a brilliant feeling for you Runfat, 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 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ˜Š

You were absolutely right AlMorr... Ran W6R1 today thinking itโ€™d be a doddle and it was the most difficult yet!

If you had ran a little slower you would not have found it so hard, run 2 of week 6 is the last run with interval walks and runs, after that it's back to non stop running.
