Let the harder runs start! Enjoyed every run so far but slightly nervous about starting W4 but we will see how it goes! How did everyone else when they got to this stage?

Myself and my partner felt the same but there really no need to worry just done wk5 r2 and not had any issues with any runs so far even though there a little daunting as they get longer but trust the program it works and you may think you are not ready but you are 😀🏃‍♀️👍

I felt really nervous too, don't worry! It's perfectly normal to feel that way hahah, I couldn't fathom running for 5 minutes - I'm on W6 now, the programme really does prepare you for the longer weeks I promise. If you would have told me I'd be running for 20 minutes a few months back I would have laughed at you - but as long as you are slow, and breathing deeply you'll ace it. Good luck!

Every week you think, “really?!” and every week proves “yes, really!!”. 😄Every run is preparing you for future runs, so trust the programme and yourself! You got this! Enjoy! 😊🏃‍♀️🐢

There is no need to be nervous about C25k and as this post points out it is counterproductive healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Relish the challenge and enjoy it, don't fear it.
