At last, after three so near and yet so far attempts, I have completed the 20 minute run. Very slow but I don't care one bit. Thank you so much to everyone who gave me such encouragement and support on Sunday when attempt 3 went wrong. Onwards and upwards 😁

4th time lucky, 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 😊

Don't worry about being slow. I am the slowest runner ever but I still feel the benefits from running. Well done and keep going.

I attempted W5 R3 last night and had to slow down to a walk after 10 mins, and eventually ran for about 16 mins in total, I was really disappointed, but after reading your post I will definitely keep trying! Well done.
