Week 5 complete

Those 20 minutes were hard, but I didn’t stop - legs were shaking a bit at the end but walking calmed them down. Happy to have Week 5 under my belt & hoping the rain stops for long enough on Wednesday when I start week 6.

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 🏃🏾 😊

Yes, really well done. I did mine last week, but I agree with Almorr below, run 1 of week 6 was harder than the 20minutes so be prepared. Just off for Run 2 Week 6 - eeek! BFN

Fabulous, over half way through the programme now; well done!

That’s the way to do it! Repeat a day or do a smaller version of it as needed👍👍👍
