Woo hoo - W5R3 done!

[MrsPenfold]

Thanks to everyone who gave me encouragement after my “dread” post the other day. I did it! I usually listen to music but decided to change things a little and listen to a funny podcast instead and I think it was a good distraction. It was a beautiful evening and I’m lucky enough to be able to run by the sea which is a definite bonus. It felt like such an achievement! Good luck to everyone else who are about to do this run - you CAN do it! 🙂

Congratulations 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 🏃🏾 ✅ 👍

Have you stopped grinning yet ? 😬

What a difference a run makes… very well done. Now you know you can do this! Slow and steady into week 6 and there’s no stopping you!

[Nilsam Graduate]

Well done...very impressed. What was the podcast? I have been listening to Jay Shetty's on purpose for distraction. It would be good to mix it up with a funny one.

[MrsPenfold in reply to Nilsam]

I was listening to Off Menu and Harry Hill was the guest. If you haven’t listened to it, the premise is that guests talk through what their dream meal would be. The Harry Hill one was so funny - it really took my mind off the run and made the time pass!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to MrsPenfold]

Thank you. That's a great tip. I will have a look / listen.

[Brixcos Graduate]

Great progress, very well done! 🏃‍♀️

Wow, awesome. 💥👊🏽💥I’m so jealous, I’ve got mine R3 tomorrow. I’m so nervous.

[Amiee-Leigh Graduate in reply to kazzos]

No need to be nervous. You have come this far, you know you can do it, have faith

[kazzos Graduate in reply to Amiee-Leigh]

Thanks for boost. I’m going to do it as part of a Park Run. I’ve registered. Just to give me some motivation.

[kazzos Graduate in reply to kazzos]

Woo hoo!!!W5R3 busted 🥊💥🥊

Bring W6(I’ll be the same next week 🤣) but enjoying my success for this week.

[MrsPenfold in reply to kazzos]

You can do it! I had been dreading it but told myself yesterday “I can” - and I did!

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to kazzos]

You can do it, just take it really slow and you will get to the end and be smiling like a Cheshire Cat 👍🏻

[Liono Graduate]

Yay! The best feeling! Well done 🙂

[Freesia110]

Wow, that’s amazing. Well done you. I start W5 today. This is my second time around with C25k after graduating back in March, I’m struggling more this time though, I’ll plod on though. Congratulations to you.🏃‍♀️💕🤗

[kazzos Graduate in reply to Freesia110]

This is my 3rd time round and it just seems to get harder every time.

[Amiee-Leigh Graduate]

Well done. You must be feeling great.

[Frenc Graduate]

Congratulations Mrs P! That’s brilliant. 😊😊😊

[Dendev75 Graduate]

Well done, what an achievement, it leaves you feeling on a high for days. Just be aware that week 6 run 1 catches a lot of people out (I assumed it would be a piece of cake after the long run) it was really hard so just take it really slow, it was the end of week 6 where I actually wanted to get rid of the intervals and just continue with the longer runs - it’s so much better - good luck.

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Oh well done you, what a happy post
