W5 R3✔️ I’ve only gone and done it. 20 minutes of continuous running. I’m sure somewhere in the middle I was running so slow I resembled Peter Kay doing his “dad running” joke, but I don’t care. Honestly I’m so proud of myself....

Thanks so much for people who have shared their tips... can’t wait to have a go at w6

Congratulations. Every run is an achievement. Ps I also run very slow & I don't care. They most important thing is that we are out running rather than sat on tge sofa x

Well done HattieCooke - great photo! It really is such a buzz, completing this run. For many people I think it is the point where they actually realise they can do this - definately one of the biggest runs of the program!

Good luck with Week 6 - stay strong mentally. The return to run- walk catches a few folk out, but you got this! Believe! 💪😀

Well done! 👏👏👏

That’s seen by many of us as a milestone run!

It’s an amazing feeling when you complete it!

It’s an emotional journey isn’t it?

Keep it up .. you are over half way there!

Look how far you’ve come?! 👍💕

Week 6 here you come Lady!

Ps. Those walk intervals were my friend in the earlier weeks but week 6 I hated them! Something happens to us W5R3... I think it’s when we finally realise ‘I’m really doing this!’
