Hello All

[Flossy55]

Just wanted to Introduce myself to the community. I have completed 5 weeks of the 9weeks in C25K. Looking forward to starting week 6 tomorrow. Did I just say that 🤔😆

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations Flossy55 on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, well done, 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 🏃🏾

[Flossy55 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I completed the 3 days in 3 days and had to stop myself starting week 6 today. However I do walk 5 miles a day as a standard norm.

[nowster Graduate in reply to Flossy55]

I hope you're taking the rest days between each run. 🤨

[Flossy55 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Ermmm up to week 5 yes and have taken today as a rest day.

[nowster Graduate in reply to Flossy55]

[EDIT I misread the original] Good! You don't want to get injured.

You need the "off" days after an "on" day for the body to repair the microscopic damage that running causes, and build back better.

[Flossy55 Graduate in reply to nowster]

I try to comply, but I'm a maverick at heart. I'm used to walking 50-80 miles per week and very good at listening to my body. I really appreciate your concern though.

Yes you did just say that!! That means you ran for 20 whole minutes, go you 😊👏🏼👏🏼. Best of luck with week 6 😃.

Hi Flossy55, welcome.If you are looking forward to the next week than you must be starting to enjoy it.

Good sign! I am at a similar stage. I am also just starting to get some pleasure from the running, and relaxing into it a bit. This may be because it is starting to feel achievable!!

Best of luck with your journey.
