W5R3!!! DONE😀

[CI578]

Was really dreading this run because 20 mins to me sounded like 20 miles 😕but I thought just do it!! Glad I did cos I've proved to myself I can do it 😀I just kept saying in my head you can do this you can do this. Roll on W6👍

You’ve run more than half way now - how fab is that? 💕

[CI578 Graduate in reply to Tinytears60]

Cheers so pleased I've done it, a mental challenge as well as a physical one😊

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to CI578]

Week 5 run 3 is definitely where I felt the challenge changed from physical to mentalBut... yipee! You did it! 💕👏👏

Absolutely Brilliant! You did it ! 20 minutes running you should be very proud of that, I told you you could do it, what a feeling of achievement. It’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it, well done 👏🏻👏🏻🏃‍♀️

Well done - you runner you 😃👍It seems like a big step psychologically which makes it all the more rewarding when you get it under your belt.

[Goodspeed Graduate]

That's awesome, well done! I've just completed run 2 from week 5, so ill have the 20 min run on Xmas eve. I'm a little concerned about it, but reading your success has helped me have a more positive attitude towards it! 🤞🏻

[CI578 Graduate in reply to Goodspeed]

Just keep telling yourself you can do this and you will!!

[Jaxstr in reply to Goodspeed]

Ditto. I did W5 R2 today and I'm wondering how I'm going to manage what looks like a huge step up!

[Goodspeed Graduate in reply to Jaxstr]

It does! But I've read many posts about people surprising themselves, with this run. I'm sure it will be the same for us! Good luck with it 💪🏻🏃😁

[Jaxstr in reply to Goodspeed]

Thank you. You too!

[Lindsey1097 Graduate]

Well done! That run really is a tipping point and once it's done you feel amazing! Keep going and believing the plan works. Good luck for your remaining runs. You really can do it 🎉💪🏃🏼‍♀️🍀

[swissfish Graduate]

Well done - I'll be doing W5R3 on Xmas Eve morning. I will start slowly and pace myself but I am totally determined to do it.

[Zip54 Graduate]

Yay, that's an awesome run, well done.

[Speedydonzalez Graduate]

Amazing well done! I felt exactly the same but have now graduated and continue to run 5k three times a week. Believe me it gets easier to run without stopping than having breaks of walking in between. Keep going you can do it!

[CI578 Graduate in reply to Speedydonzalez]

😀👍

[Frenc Graduate]
