WEEK 5 RUN 3 COMPLETE!!!😃🥳

[Ellaloux]

I can’t believe I have actually just ran for 20 minutes!! The first 10 minutes was one heck of a slog, but the last 10 minutes absolutely flew by!!

I didn’t start off with the best mindset, all I could think about was that I’ve got ages until the run is over! So I turned up my music and just tried to focus on everything but the run. I would say the first and last 5 minutes were the hardest, the rest in between was more than manageable😃

For the last 3 minutes I constantly had my phone in my hand so I could watch the time counting down, by this point I was struggling but there was absolutely no way I was giving up so close to the finish line! It surprisingly made that last 3 minutes a lot more bearable and it gave me a big kick up the bum to see the run out to the end! I am so chuffed with myself, I really am!

Even though I’m horrendous at the mental side of running and keeping focused, I must have been in the zone at one point as I don’t actually remember hearing the halfway bell🤣

To anyone about to start this run, and who is apprehensive about it, trust me, if I can do it you most certainly can!😃

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 🏃🏾 😊

Thank you so much, and the advice for week 6 is really appreciated! I’m going to have a couple of days off and then on to week 6!😃

It was definitely a challenge, but so worth it! I had to have a minute before doing the cool down walk, my legs weren’t for moving anymore🤣Time to go and enjoy the sun!🥳🌞

The high after you’ve done it!.. there is no feeling like it is there!

Enjoy your day! You so deserve to! 🥂🍾

Haha, yes my legs were quite jellyfish as I started my cool down today. Sign of hard work well done. 😉
