CT5K w5 run 3

I’m absolutely gobsmacked I finished this weeks run...... TWENTY NON STOP MINUTES

I tried it 2 days ago and couldn’t do it - lots of things wrong like time of day / heat etc so went out early this morning and bloody smashed it.

So proud of myself. 😄

You have every right to be proud. It’s an awesome achievement. I also completed this run this morning and think I’m still grinning now.

Feels great doesn’t it - I thought it was a huge jump in minutes but now think wk 6 will be a blast

Fingers crossed any how lol

Mmm don’t take week 6 for granted. Have seen lots of posts of people struggling with run 1. 🤞

Really? It’s back to 8 mins for the first one - haven’t looked at the second - I bet it’s 25 mins 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know. But apparently it’s because it’s back to intervals. Not sure why this makes it harder, got to be psychological after the 20 mins.
