Completed W5 C25K!!!

[Ladylaz]

Well, to say I'm pleased is an understatement!!! Today, on a dull drizzly day I ran for 20 minutes continuously and I actually enjoyed it. Also, If Laura had said I still had 5 mins to go I probably could have gone on. I really am amazed I've done it.

Well done!

This is the run with bragging rights. Please spare a thought for those who have to hear about it from you today. 🤣

Absolutely, my poor husband and friends have heard nothing but 😜😅

Congratulations to you Ladylaz 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 🏃🏾 ✅ 👍

[Ladylaz in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you, yes I have read that about week 6. I'll try and be in the zone mentally 😬

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.

For me, that was the run where I really knew I could complete C25k (and, more importantly, enjoy running too). It sounds perfect if you could have kept going at the end too, just stick to that pace and you'll ace the last few weeks. Congratulations!

[Ladylaz in reply to Devon_straggler]

Thank you, I was a little sceptical about the 20mins but I just got my head in the right place and split it up into 5min sections. My pace is slow but it obviously does work. I'm looking forward to week 6.

[Ladylaz in reply to Instructor57]

Very well done - 20 mins is a great landmark especially when you feel you could have done more

[Ladylaz in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, I'm shocked I did it.
