W5R2 done!

[Bloomsbury22]

Well that wasn’t pretty. 🥵 But knowing that if I push past those first few brutal minutes and keep putting one foot in front of another I can do it! And the second run definitely felt faster! Trying to not over think run three...🙀

[Scw787 Graduate]

Well done .... you can do it!!!! Xx

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate in reply to Scw787]

Definitely going to give it a good go! First, going to re-do my running playlist though. I normally just put it on shuffle but today it just played one slow and sluggy song after another! Not helpful! Ha!

I have just done week 4 run 2 and this week I changed to podcasts rather than music and find it helps. I was even chuckling when running this morning 😂

[RunnerKeenBean in reply to weejillymc68]

Yeah, love a good podcast. Mine are mostly food related though...I end the run starving though 😂

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate in reply to weejillymc68]

A good idea too! Shall give that a go.

[TallTeal2020 Graduate]

Well done. I'm hoping to tackle this one tomorrow 🤞

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate in reply to TallTeal2020]

Thanks! Sure you will do great!

[RunnerKeenBean]

Amazing! Well done 😄

To complete Run 2 is a huge achievement, would you ever have believed you could have done that as recently as W4?

Run 3 for me today! Def not thinking about it. Turning the music up loud!

[TillyMint08]

I’ve just completed week 5 run 3 today....a big smile on my face now 😃...it felt brilliant...you can do it !👍🏻

[Whippety1 Graduate in reply to TillyMint08]

Fabulous! You and me both!!😃

[marv123 Graduate]

Congrats! W5R3 isn’t too bad as long as you pace yourself and have a modicum of mental strength 🏃‍♂️

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate]

Thank you!

[Whippety1 Graduate]

Hi! Really well done!! Such a brill feeling! I did run 3 earlier and thought I would never make it, but slowly but surely made it to the finish line...reckon that was the longest 20 mins of my life, but proud I got through it!! Onwards and upwards to w6😬!!

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate in reply to Whippety1]

Wow!!! Congratulations! Super impressed!

[Whippety1 Graduate]

Thanks!! We keep each other motivated!!!

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate in reply to Whippety1]

This community has definitely really help me.

[emilyb95 Graduate]

Run 3 is definitely more of a mental challenge - you can do it!!

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate in reply to emilyb95]

Thank you! Going to give it a good go!

[Deetermined Graduate]

You can do this!!! I am not sure if all the C25k trainers say the same but mine, Jo Wiley, said that run 3 is rather a mental challenge than a physical one, and she was absolutely right. I still don't fully understand how and why this programme works but it's really amazing. I've hardly ever had a sense of achievement comparable to the one after having finished week 5. And since then I just know that I will somehow manage the remaining weeks, too (I finished week 6 and will start week 7 tomorrow). And so will you! Run, Bloomsbury22, run! ☺️
