Wk5 run 3 🥳🥳🥳 complete

Yay I’m soooooo mega proud of myself.

I changed up my route a little at the start so that by time I got to my “normal” path I’d already ran close to 10 mins so that helped massively mentally.

Once I hit the 12-16 mins mark when I was struggling ever so slightly I did think of all you wonderful people who had already done it and that pushed me through and then once I was in the last 4mins I knew I was gonna do it.

I did let out a little squeak of happiness at the end.

Now onto the magical world of online shopping to reward myself with a little treat of new clothes to run in.

Well done to you! I had a bit of a wobble at 15 minutes, too. But we came through and did it! Enjoy your online shopping!

Well done ... just did the same run earlier! Still a bit in disbelief I’ve done a run for 20 mins.

A squeak of happiness, shout it out ... think back to W1R1 to today and 20 mins ... 👏👏

Well done! I definitely found W5R3 to be a turning point in the programme so hopefully it’s the same for you and it’s onwards and upwards!! Good luck with the rest of your running journey☺️

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, enjoy your shopping for running clothes online🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🏾👍

Sarah!!!!! Whoop whoop!

Loved your post... so so chuffed for you... I’ve not long done week 5 and I know how mentally challenging it was for me (and physically!... )

Your trick at the start is something I will try- so clever!

Love that you’ve done it but knew you would!

🏃🏽‍♀️👏👏👏👏 Brilliant! That W5R3 I personally feel is a milestone for us all..

Enjoy your shopping... and don’t forget the photos of your new purchases 👍
