Week 5 run 3 done!

I did it! Lovely bright morning with a fresh breeze, and it felt good to be jogging along like a real runner! For some reason the halfway bell didn't sound - I should have turned back when Jo told me I'd run for 10 minutes, but carried on in the hope of hearing the bell. Eventually turned back at Saturn (my run takes me along a local cycle track that contains a scale model of the solar system :)), and had a longer warm-down walk than normal, but it was all good. Bring on week 6!

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 🏃🏾

Thank you @AlMorr! It seems odd to go back to intervals of walking and running, but I guess I have to trust in the programme!

Well done! Hardest run of c2k5 done! 💪🏻 It's a massive barrier to have completed(mostly psychological) , be very pleased and keep it up!
