It wasn't pretty, it wasn't elegant but I did it. Born to run coming over the headphones as I entered the last 5 minutes brought a smile...I was SO NOT born to run!!!

Well done! It's definitely the one that seems to matter most to many people during the nine weeks. It's a lovely feeling, when you have to make that move from run/walk to non-stop running and you succeed.

Best of luck for week 6, not that you need it much if you've already conquered week 5 :)

😄this made me smile - I’ve also just finished the same run and was spurred on by a good track in the last 2 minutes! (I was expecting him to say 60 seconds to go, he said 2 minutes 😩) Congrats on getting there - Week 6 here we come!!

You were born to run SueG66, 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, take that run/walk carefully and you will be 🆗. 😊 🏃🏾
