Well done!!!!
Omg well done you! How was it going from 8 minutes to 20? It’s my next run and I am really dreading it
Don't dread it - this is a great run and the sense of achievement you get from completing it is so rewarding! Relish it and enjoy experiencing the progress you have made 😊.

Brilliant and well done! The runner's high you get from completing this run is amazing and stays with you all day. Apart, from graduation I think W5R3 is one of the best runs of C25K.
Well done. I have just completed this too this morning, enjoy the feeling of success!!

Brilliant!
And to those yet to do this - don't worry, just take it slowly and your legs will do the work for you!
