Week 5 Run 3 fears....I only went and did it...thank you for a your encouragement..20 mins running. I'm amazed at this plan

[Mozzeyrosa]

I have completed week 4 run 3 today and I really had to push myself on the last 5 minutes. I'm overweight and very unfit so my pace is extremely slow but if I'm totally honest I can't believe I've even finished week 4, I struggled with 60 seconds only 4 weeks a go. I have just had a look at week 5 and I really can't see how I'm supposed to run for 20 minutes? Is this just an assumption that I'm fit or is it possible for someone Iike me to give it a go?

Absolutely give it a go, you’re ready for this, this plan has got you to this stage and has prepared you every step of the way, you’ll be great 💪🏻😊

[Mozzeyrosa in reply to Dtay1978]

Thanks for your reply. I will give it a go. It just seems impossible. I can't believe I'm even doing this 🤣

[Allbarron Graduate]

It is absolutely possible. You aren't in a race so do what you've been doing go slow and try not to think about the whole run. Give yourself small goals...the next lamp post...the next tree and then set a new goal. Honestly, you're more equipped than you think. There's no right way to run this, there's just your way. You just said you can't believe you've done 4 weeks. When you complete this run its such a great feeling to know you really are a runner! We all have been there and we have faith you can do this. You just need to believe in you!! Happy running🤞🤞🏃🏃

Slow is good........you can do this.

[Mozzeyrosa]

This is brilliantly written for someone like me. Thanks so much. It makes perfect sense.

I’m 64, obese and I did it a few weeks ago. It was a real high and I felt a huge sense of achievement. If I can do it, anybody can. I’m doing W9R3 in the morning - who’d have thought it??!! Trust the programme. They know better than we do.

[Mozzeyrosa]

Wow well done, you must be so proud and elated. I know I will be. I think I might be becoming a couch to 5k bore 🤣🤣
