Oh man!!!! That was exhilarating - once it was over hahahaha. There was no drama, just a trot in the countryside and I finished with a huge grin on my face. Even Ollie looked a bit scared by that 🐢😱. I was β€˜strolling’ home and thinking about week 1 and those 30 second runs that felt horrible. I truly thought I just couldn’t do this.

Thank you to all my running buddies (I hope you lot don’t mind) I am getting through the weeks and enjoying it too. I wouldn’t be doing this without you lot!!!!

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, 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 😊

You sound just like me!

Felt euphoric when I completed week 5, and to think how hard week 1 was.

So glad you're enjoying it, the support here is incredible isnt it

I don’t think I would be heading into week 6 with such positivity (still terrified hahahahaha) if it wasn’t for this group.

Enjoy your weekend.

This group has got me through lots of runs when I've had my doubts.

Week 6 is a tricky week, you'll do it, but it is tricky. Good luck

Enjoy your weekend also 😊
