Week 4 run 1 done!

[Cockneymick]

Can't I believe I just ran for 16 minutes in total, feel good and looking forward to next one. I did however find it much tougher than the previous runs and was glad when finished! Hope you're all well and getting through your runs. Thanks for encouragement

I just did week 4 run 2. I agree the step up from week 3 wasn't easy especially those first 5 minutes when my legs felt like lead! But to get that one in the bag gives a real sense of achievement doesn't it? Today's run was easier and, despite being a somewhat reluctant runner, I can't wait to get run 3 done and start week 4. Good luck on your journey!

Wow that's brilliant we'll done. Yes definitely felt like a big achievement and I wasn't exhausted afterwards. A really good programme, c25k is working for me (so far!) hope your next run goes well. Thanks for the motivation!

Run 3 done and dusted. 🙂 Struggled a bit in the beginning but pushed on and even had enough to carry on for another minute on the final run.

I hope your week 4 is going as well, if not better, than mine.

Whoop!! Well done!! It’s tough isn’t it 😂 I struggled today, I had to stop for a few seconds on both 5 minute runs so Saturday I’m going to push through the pain! Well done again 💪🏻

Hey thanks and well done you for having the motivation to tackle it again. If need be I might do wk4 twice as yes it was very tough! Hope it goes well for you tomorrow. 👍

Well done, just about to head out for my w4r1, I hope I do as we as you.

[Cockneymick Graduate in reply to olderrunner]

Hey thanks, how did it go for you, all good I hope?

[olderrunner Graduate in reply to Cockneymick]

First half ok, struggled with the second half, only ran for 2/3 mins then 3.5/5 of the second 5min run, but onwards and upwards. Try again on Sunday!

[Cockneymick Graduate in reply to olderrunner]

That's the spirit, we'll all have minor set backs, doesn't matter how many weeks it takes, just as long as we keep exercising regularly. I'm sure it'll go better on Sunday, let me know how u get on

Well done I'm on week 4 run 1 tonight a bit worried as I found week 3 hard

[Cockneymick Graduate in reply to Fitformentalhealth]

Hi thanks, I also found week 3 hard, but it does prepare you for week 4. I was very nervous before run 1 yesterday, but I did it and felt great afterwards, I'm sure you will too.

[Iamaki74 Graduate]

Well done! I have a few knee issues after wk 3 so resting, stretching and icing it for a few days! Will be back on Monday though to push through wk4 run 1. Good luck with run 2

[Cockneymick Graduate in reply to Iamaki74]

Thanks and good for you, as long as you stick at it, it doesn't matter how long it takes

[Dreambird Graduate]

I’m going out to start week 4 run 1 this morning - bit apprehensive as I found week 3 tough but managed it - such a great feeling. It’s a beautiful day and I’m going to get out there and just do it ! It’s a great programme and if my old PE teacher could see me ........!

[Cockneymick Graduate in reply to Dreambird]

Funnily enough I was thinking about my PE teacher whilst running yesterday! I hope your run went well

[Bloomsbury22 Graduate]

Congratulations!

[charswee]

Well done! Keep going! I just finished Week 4 and it’s a tough one.

[Cockneymick Graduate]

Hi thanks! I did run 2 of wk 4 today, it was tough but more manageable than the first. Well done in completing week 4, good luck with wk5👍🏃
