Wk 6 complete 🥳

[Sarahf40]

So chuffed, not gonna lie it was hard. But for the first time I tracked my route and I did 1.7 miles.

I know I was obviously very very slow but least it gives me something to work from, I’m not going to track every run as I’m sure that’s counterproductive but hopefully if I do it at the end of week 7 or beginning of wk8 I might see a difference.

Although considering five weeks ago I pretty much collapsed in my garden after running for 3x90 seconds i have obviously have massively improved 🤩

Well done !

That was my last run on Thursday !

It's a great feeling.

I will go on my first week 7 run later today 😁

You’ll be fine! You’ve done it once! Whatever you did, just do it again 😀

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Just trying to motivate myself this morning to be honest !

Thin I need my subliminal messages 😁

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

I’ll give you subliminal messages, get out there! 😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

HAHAHA . OK 😂🏃

You said that to me last time when it was pouring rain and I went straight out and loved it 😂

[Jools2020 Graduate]

Well done! I usually start off every run with a bit of a wobble, because the first 5 minutes are the hardest for me. I do track every run, because I like pressing the buttons on my new watch! If anyone sees me, they must think I’m a pro and running slowly to train for a marathon 😀.

Eek! I just converted your 1.7 miles to Km and you are wayyy faster than me. Maybe I’ll get a prize for being the slowest runner in Couch to 5k!

Week 7 now for you, more of the same. I did R1 yesterday and found it a tad easier. Even increased pace for the last 60 seconds!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Oooh, my new watch arrives today 😬

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Excellent! Got to love shiny new toys. Mine’s a Garmin and I linked the app to Strava. Took me ages. Then I realised I only knew 1 person on Strava so I deleted the app 😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Garmin here also 😬

[HappyNoodle Graduate]

That’s brilliant! Well done two thirds of the plan completed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Loopylox Graduate]

Congratulations! I’ve just got back from doing the same run.... When I started, I had to stop myself looking at my watch until at least 30 seconds had gone past!

Hi 5 from me! Keep at it... fingers crossed we will both be celebrating same time in 3 weeks!! 🎉👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Never mind the time, you ran for 25 minutes, congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, onwards and upwards to week 7 which are all 3/25 minute runs 🏃🏾 👍.

Well done on becoming a runner, and just to reaffirm the above messages, as long as you’re not going too fast pace is irrelevant 😊
