That's a milestone run to complete .

I remember smiling all day after that one 😁

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, as Instructor 57 says, '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 πŸƒπŸΎ 😊

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸŽ‰

Definitely a milestone run in the program. I remember being totally amazed after I had managed that one and grinning like nobody's business for hours afterwards 😁😁😁😁

As AlMorr says be careful of the first 2 runs of week 6. I really struggled with those interval runs and found them amongst the toughest of the program. Just take it slow and steady and you will be fine.

Hi JAKL, I have just done run 2 of week 5, must admit not looking forward to running for 20 mins as still slow and plodding. Well done for completing week 5

Slow and plodding is exactly the way to complete it πŸ‘

Thank you , was beginning to think I might not make it but didn't stop so that was a bonus πŸ˜‚
