Did it.

Felt I could have done a little bit more.

But 20 minutes without a break?

Let's see on Thursday ( or maybe Wednesday if I feel good).

Well done for completing the run Rennur! I also doubted my ability when I got to run 3 of week 5 but all the runs you’ve done up until now have prepared you for the 20 minute run without you even realising - you can do it! Good luck ✨

Well done on completing run 2 of week 5, take run 3 slowly, the C25K training course has prepared you for it, once you have completed it, which you will, you will be very proud of yourself.

You'll be surprised what you're capable of doing. Just go for it. Keep it slow.

Just did my scary 20 min "marathon" last week. The program works, I did it much to my personal surprise and you will too. Just keep taking one more step, how hard can that be :)

A lot of it is psychological. Don’t run too fast. If you feel like stopping , try slowing down by reducing your step length a bit and maybe taking a few deeper breaths.

Like you I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it, but I was fine!

Not what you're looking for?
