Wk5 run3 success!

I did it, 20 mins non-stop! I have been worrying about this one for over a week, especially having repeated run 2 but I did it with encouragement from my husband. I recovered so much quicker than I thought I would and could even have the odd word or two during the run. Onwards to wk 6 and see what it brings.

You will be fine, I was really apprehensive about this week, worries quite a lot about it as seemed to be such a big leap. Definitely slow and steady is the way to go. I am now starting to enjoy it! Good luck for next week

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 🏃🏾 😊
