Loving it

Week five run three.I'm lying in bed drinking a nice hot

morning coffee. It is 7.45 on a Sunday morning and the frost outside my window says it is quite a cold one. Why not jump out of your snug cosy warm duvet and go run for 20 minutes straight in the cold? After all, it's not like you haven't run for 20 minutes straight since you were about 17 is it? 🤔 I must be mad, but then again dear fellow C25K type, all the best people are. 😜

You know you want to ! Go and enjoy one of the most satisfying runs in the program, and then you will spend the rest of the day smiling 😁👍

[PrimaryConsumer in reply to Instructor57]

😁👍Big smile yes

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to PrimaryConsumer]

Haha, excellent!Well done 👍😬

Take your time with the week 6 interval runs .

It's soooo easy to set off too fast after the euphoria of completing that first 20 minute run !

[PrimaryConsumer in reply to Instructor57]

Roger that instructor 57...i felt like I could have run that all over again it felt so good. So good advice and noted. 😁👌👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to PrimaryConsumer]

Yes, absolutely, that's sometimes the temptation which is exactly why we point it out .Having said that, I can see from your bio that you are really quite active and as you said in there you want to avoid injury.

Sticking to this well tried and tested program will certainly help you achieve that and will certainly pay dividends in the long run (pun intended) 😁

Enjoy !

Why not indeed! You may well already have finished by the time you read this reply. I bet you’ve got a massive grin if you have been out there. It’s a gorgeous day for a run!

[PrimaryConsumer in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Absolutely wonderful yes 😁

Did you go? If you did you beat me, I'm going shortly and as I haven't run much lately 20 minutes sounds perfect

[PrimaryConsumer in reply to SueAppleRun]

I did go and it was amazing, ran off road down the canal, through woodlands and fields and I loved every step. Great morning for a run, the sun shining, the ground was firm with frost but not icy, and the air was nice and cool to breath. Couldn't have wished for better conditions to complete week 5. Week 6 can't start soon enough, I'm loving this running lark.(though yes I'm sticking to my intervals, week six starts on Wednesday😉).

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to PrimaryConsumer]

Ooo super well done you, I went for a 20 minute run and thought about you as I ran and hoped you did

[PrimaryConsumer in reply to SueAppleRun]

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to PrimaryConsumer]

Ha! Similarly, monday morning , cup a tea in bed, procrastinating, and thinking should get started on this week5, 3rd run. Bed is comfy!!! Beautiful day.

Aside from actual graduation completing W5 R3 was the best feeling in the world. Well done you for getting this far and good luck with the final four weeks!

[PrimaryConsumer in reply to BlackCountryLee]
