The thing is you didnโ€™t stop and that is brilliant.

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 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

Why dread any run?

Do you not want to do it?

You might benefit from following the link in the guide to the post about mental approach.

Relax and enjoy it.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

You cannot fail if you keep trying, only if you stop trying.
