Excellent news! That week 5 final run is such a great one to complete. I bet you’re still smiling!

Just a note of caution about week 6…it’s really easy to go off a bit fast after the massive high of week 5 and then run out of puff. Try and take it super steady and enjoy every stride.

Welcome to this forum-we’re a super friendly bunch and we love to chat about all things running. You must have already developed some serious c25k skills to have achieved all you’ve done so far. There’s a brilliant little guide to the programme here with lots of helpful hints and tips that’s still worth a read.  For me, the most important thing was keeping it slow and steady at a pace where you can talk in full sentences without gasping.  Most of us go too fast!

Really good luck with your next run and enjoy that well earned rest day(s). 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Congratulations, Tef5 ! Enjoy your rest day(s) and then week 6! As MissUnderstanding reminds us: Just remember to slow down when you think you can't go on... 😉 That's where the magic happens: Slow and steady!

Keep running, keep smiling!

(And, yes, remembering Tim...)
