W5R3 complete

I am still surprised that I managed to run the whole 20 minutes and could well have carried on. It only has been just a bit over a month since I started, which I find still hard to believe, so I kept the instructions and it just works. It is not a fast pace, but the fact that I can just go and do a run that is _twenty_ minutes long is truly inspiring for me, as I classify as overweight and didn't really do physical activities in at least last five years. It is somewhat demanding, but I can't wait for the next week. Best of luck to everyone!

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 🏃🏾 😊

Thanks. I looked at the next week plan already, so I think it'll be a nice opportunity to fit some faster paced intervals in preparation for the run three in the week six. I'll see how it goes 😊
