Yesss! I did it!
I never would have believed two weeks ago that I would be running for 20 minutes - let alone be enjoying it too! I know it's only a small achievement in the grand scheme of things but I'm so proud of myself and I really feel now like I can complete the programme!
For me (and many others from what I've read) week 5 was a huge mental barrier. I've been redoing weeks three and four on and off for about three months but with the new year and what not I set the intention to commit to running three times a week and conquering the dreaded week 5! Now that I've done it I don't know what I was worrying about; I felt challenged but at no point did I feel like I needed to stop! I'm going to enjoy a nice hot shower now whilst the little one is still napping and might even treat myself to a gin this evening.
My wisdom for today: You never know what you're capable of until you give it a try
You deserve that gin Newbierrunner96, congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, you should be very proud of yourself, 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 🏃🏾.
Yes Sir AlMorr you know it!!
👍 🏃🏾 ❤️❤️
