W5R3 done!

[Fran2207]

I have just completed the 20 minutes run and I still can’t believe it, I was so sure that I would need to stop at least once halfway, but I did it all! This programme is amazing, it got ME running of all people! I just want to say thank you to all the people who posted about this particular run, all the encouraging messages really gave me the confidence to push myself and I was right to do so!! 💪💪

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, I am so happy to know that this great program has got you into running.

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 🏃🏾 😊

Thanks, I’ll be careful!

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

Well done Fran, you smashed it! 😀 I’m just realising how amazing the plan is but so are we for doing it 💪🏻

Like most of us, I never knew I had it in me when I started. I have turned to the people on here for advice and support when I’ve struggled or just to share my journey and they’ve got me this far 👏👏

I feel like such a different person.

I have W5R3 tomorrow and I’m a bit nervous but going to give it my best shot.

Onwards and upwards, good luck with W6, we CAN do this!! 👍🏻🏃‍♀️
