Thanks for all the encouragement so far...!

Week 5 Day 2 completed this morning. 4.2km in 30 mins with 16 mins of that running...! Fought a headwind on the return journey and wanted to stop but kept pressing forward..!

First EVER 20 min run on Wednesday (if the weather is OK!!!).

Well done.If any run is tough or difficult, just slow down.

C25K is duration based and the recommended pace is one at which you can speak aloud, clear ungasping sentences as you run.
