Week 5 run 3 smashed it. Did a full 25 minutes nonstop.

Congratulations on completing week 5 run 3 ! That's always a great run to finish 😁👍

Take it easy on week 6 run 1

It often catches people out !

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

W5R3 in the NHS C25K plan, which most people here are following, is a 20 minute run. We would advise you to stick to the plan.

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.

Are you sure you didn't do Week 6 Run 3 instead? Week 5 ends with a 20 minute run.

I answered my phone whilst running and it paused the app. By the time I realized I'd ran the extra 5mins.

I had that happen in Week 1 during one of the walk intervals.

I'd suggest sticking to the intended programme and doing Week 6 Run 1 next. It should be a doddle now.
