Meeting my big sister at 12 for our Week 5 run 3 😳

Feeling nervous just had my porridge and taking my dog out for a walk before meeting her down the canal .

You should never be nervous about any run.........it is counterproductive.

Two bits of reading to calm your nerves.

First a piece about mental approach healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Secondly a breakdown of W5 healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Relax and enjoy it.

It's funny. A year ago I'd have thought "Running for 20 minutes? Are you totally mad?" but today I think "20 minutes? That's just a quick stretch of the legs."

The point I'm making is that it's all relative, and the programme of C25K prepares you for this. Week 5 is actually one of the least demanding weeks in the whole scheme even though it looks formidable on paper. Weeks 4 and 6 are the sneaky ones.

Remember to not go fast when you're setting off. Maybe try to go a little slower than you normally do. The distance isn't important at all, only that you keep moving for the whole time.

Don't worry about it. You've already done a longer session (when you count the walk in the middle).
