Wk5 Run3 - I'm a runner!

[LynneG29]

I did it! I ran non stop for 20 minutes and finally feel like a proper runner!

I've always felt a bit of a wannabe when out in the mornings among the "real" runners but not anymore. I am a runner yay!!

Yay! Well done, you! I did this run on Friday and felt incredible afterwards. I imagine you feel the same.

We’re finally runners!

Thanks, I can't stop smiling!

Good luck with week 6.

Well done!

I'm afraid that a big grin is a common side-effect of having completed this run.

The other symptom is bragging to anyone who will listen (and those who won't) about your having run for twenty minutes.

Congratulations, you are a runner but you will have to wait until you complete run 3 of week 6 before you are told by your coach that you are officially a runner.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 runs 1 and 2 which have interval walks and runs. 🏃🏾 👍

Thanks Almorr, official runner or not, I'm smiling!

Well done LynneG29, it is a real sense of achievement and accomplishment. I really enjoyed my Wk5R3. Good for you and ‘being a runner’ is something personal to everyone I believe.

Enjoy the sense of self pride and confidence in the programme; you’ll need to remind yourself of this as you progress to more frequent longer runs.

Good luck!
