Week 5 Run 3 done

Hello all, just completed week 5 Run 3 tonight.

I had no idea what was in store, I thought this week was quite tough if I’m honest and run 2 I really struggled with. I haven’t read ahead what the programme is rather, I’m just letting the app guide me along and after tiring about 15 mins in, I thought it’s mentally challenging as well, but kept going and I actually really enjoyed tonight running for 20mins.

Oh and here’s another “couch-pot-phot” from tonight

Congrats, W5R3 I was so nervous for (I had looked ahead) but it was my favourite. Well done for completing it and in *such* a beautiful location. Good luck for the next four weeks!

Nice photo, I bet you got quite a shock when your coach told you "Today's run is a full twenty minute run without any stops", I am always advising runners not to look ahead at future weeks, you did the correct thing on not doing that.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5 which is a milestone run with C25K, well done.

It’s a bit of a grind but it’s always worth it. Just feels good when you get in at the end knowing you’ve challenged yourself and made it.

Well done. Lovely photo too.

I found as the programme progressed, it became more and more a mental challenge. You will need a good dose of bloodymindedness. 👍
