Done! W5R3

Did it! I felt so nervous during the brisk walk at the start of this run. I kept going and with Sarah's encouragement managed to jog the 20 minutes...then I felt so pleased during the 5 minute walk at the end!!!

Congratulations!!! 🎉 It's such an amazing feeling, isn't it? I had been nervous about that run for about two weeks before and couldn't imagine how I would be able to go from 8 minutes non-stop running to 20. Then again I saw it as a huge challenge which I was looking forward to. Since I managed week 5 I am convinced that I can do the remaining weeks, too (I will start week 8 tomorrow). 😃

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 🏃🏾 😊
