Got up early before it got too hot, quite excited really to get started. Only one other person running, thought he looked quite slow actually until I started and well he took his time to overtake me but he managed it! After running about 6 minutes I must have pressed a button on my phone, ( or the last 14 minutes simply flew by! (but I found myself in the cooling down stage...I was devastated. I completed the twenty minutes but only because I remembered your posts, stories and comments. Little did you know what an impact your words can make on other people's lives. Thank you all so much.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K.

Interesting what you say about seeing another runner going slow until you either try and keep up with him and find he is going faster than you thought or he overtakes you.

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 🏃🏾 😊.
