Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

W5R3 will actually be your shortest workout since W3, believe it or not. All explained here healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

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.

Relax and enjoy your journey.

Congratulations to you on completing weeks 1 to 4 of C25K, you are doing very well indeed, onwards and upwards to week 5, don't worry about run 3 of week 5, the program has prepared you for it, it's not a typo mistake, take that run especially slow and steady, once you have completed it you will be very proud of yourself.

Ha ha. Did it yesterday. Don’t panic. You can do this! Surprised myself and you can too. Just get started. You’ll be fine.

Not a typo!😁Don't panic, it looks really strange, but if you have completed runs 1 and 2, you are ready for run 3, and it is doable, it's more of a mental challenge than a physical one. Don't get hung up on it, as IT says, it's actually less overall time. Just take it slow and steady.
