Agreed. I struggled the first week, but with learning to stretch properly and find a running style really made a difference.

Most my runs end with me grinning for my 5 minute cool down walk. I think the neighbours must think I’ve gone mad! Well done!!

As it says in the song "Keep Smiling" you keep smiling for the rest of the day, 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 🏃🏾

I had a look at next week this morning to see where it was going. It does feel a little step back, but I'm looking forward to that 25 minutes. I know I can do it already!
