W5R3 just completed, what a step up to 20 mins running! But the power of positivity works, and belief in the app too, thanks Denise Lewis!! Best of all I don't feel too bad after and actually enjoyed it!!!

Congratulations to you MJRunner 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,. 😊 🏃🏾

Great job. It does seem a bit step, but the plan always has us ready for the next run. Enjoying it is a really big win too! Slow and steady is the key to week 6… you got this.

Congratulations.

W5R3 is psychologically a big step, so well done, but it is actually the shortest workout since W3, so physically far less so.........not to take anything away from your achievement.

It is all explained in this FAQ breakdown of W5 healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Keep running, keep smiling.

Well done. Just completed wk5 f1 and bit nervous about next two. Glad to hear it went okay.
