It felt amazing!

I have to be honest, I was dreading w5r3 - 20 minutes non stop... a few weeks ago I could only just manage the 1 minute run. But I did it... it felt amazing! Looking forward to getting back out there for the next run.

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 🏃🏾

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

So well done! You will always know you can do it now .. it’s a huge mental hurdle to pass.
