Well I couldn't have imagined 5 weeks ago that I'd be able to run for 20 minutes but this morning I did it. It wasn't fast and it wasn't pretty but I did it. Think I might have achey cheeks later from all the grinning I'm doing!

Seems a massive jump but actually doesn't feel too bad, you'll be fine.

That’s brilliant well done.

Due to do my W5 R3 later today. Must say am a little apprehensive.

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 🏃🏾 😊
