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 🏃🏾 😊.

As you say that you could not run for 90 seconds, now you can run for 20 minutes, excellent, it won't be long before you can run for 30 minutes, you can look forward to that in about four weeks time on week 9. 😊 🏃🏾

Same! I did mine this morning- can’t believe I actually ran for 20 minutes. I hope you’re feeling as chuffed with yourself as I was!

I’ve only just found this forum and I see that W5R3 is a bit legendary and a definite milestone so I’m even more proud!
