That's a milestone run to complete .

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 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ˜Š

Congratulations ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ‰

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 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

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 ๐Ÿ‘
