Week 5 smashed!

So, so happy to run for 20mins this morning. When Jo told me I'd done 5mins I couldn't believe it, it felt like 10, but it became easier as I ran along. The last 5mins was pretty tough. Never did I ever imagine I could run for 20mins. Chuffed to say the least😁

Fantastic, well done. I was buzzing when I completed run 3 of week 5 so you enjoy that feeling as you've earned it!

Well done, I did it this morning and when Jo said 5 minutes gone I thought I couldn't possibly do another 15 mins but I did.

It's a great feeling isn't it.

You deserve to be chuffed, 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 πŸƒπŸΎ 😊

Wow wow WOW! I’m feeling chuffed for you!!!!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ’•

It’s my next run and whilst we have built up to it and read the week 5 myths busted and logically it’s all true.....

BUT

It’s still 20 MINUTES! 🀣

I just want to nail it (tomorrow or Friday)... and then for the remainder of the week I will be walking round with a grin as huge as a Cheshire Cat 😸

Seriously!... what an accomplishment!... super chuffed for you!

It's such an amazing feeling, thanks. You'll definitely do it, just tell yourself you can do it and you will! See you in week 6😁
