20 minutes baby!! That really was ok! I'm not worried about any of the other runs to come now, I know 100% I can do it. Never did I think I would enjoy running. Feeling elated right now 😁

Yeah I've taken the pressure off myself with time and distance now and I'm really enjoying it. Those things will come eventually and actually even if they don't I'm up and doing something and I'm feeling good about it so it really doesn't matter. Thank you 😊

It takes time and patience but it’s so worth it. Injury sucks so be a bit Zen about things and all will be well πŸ™‚

Good work! It's a great achievemnt to complete this milestone run. Two more intervals and then it's into the longer runs from w6r3. Keep it slow and steady and you'll be just fine. Well done πŸ˜€

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 πŸƒπŸΎ 😊
