W5R3 Done!

Completed W5R3 this morning, with no issues. Running at sunrise on a beautiful winter morning here in the tropics...a chilly 13degrees Celsius. The hip flexors feel a little tight so I will do plenty of stretching over the weekend before attempting week 6 on Monday. Thankyou to this site, it has really helped me stick with the program and believe that it isn’t too late for me to start running regularly again.

Good run for you today, 13C is the same temperature that I ran my tenth 10K in not so tropical Scotland at 6.30am on Wednesday.

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 🏃🏾 😊

Well done, I read so much about people "fearing" this run, I found it was the run that really showed me I could do it, it is amazing that the previous weeks of 1-10 minute runs prepares you perfectly for this run.
