I actually did it!

Graduates must hear this all the time, but this was such an achievement for me, like Laura says I never thought at W1 that I would be running for 20 mins in W5

I of course teared up as per 😭

Big thanks to C25K 🥰

I felt the exact same for that run - it was such a beautiful feeling. Let me tell you, that feeling grows over time and it’s amazing! I did week 7 run 2 this morning and graduating feels in reach now. Keep up the great work and full steam ahead, well done! 😁👏

Brilliant. Very well done I think it’s the most amazing run to complete you really do feel good and start to believe you can really do it .

It’s true, plus I’m now over the halfway mark, so I know it’s going to be so much tougher, but that 20 min run was such a boost

You should be very proud of yourself, 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, once again congratulations 🎊 😊.
