I did it!!!

I confess I was feeling nervous in the build up to this one, I didn't think there was any way I could go from running 8 minutes at a time to a full 20 minutes in one go. It was absolutely pouring this morning and the old, pre-c25k me would definitely have used this as an excuse not to get out of bed. However, I sucked it up, got out there, and surprised myself πŸ˜„ I kept my pace very slow (you could probably have walked past me faster!) and concentrated on my music and my breathing - I was at 15 minutes before I knew it. I honestly could have kept going when Sarah Millican told me it was time to slow down.

Feeling completely delighted 😁

Have a great day!

A big congratulations to you schrody444 on completing run 3 of week 5 in the β˜” rain, 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 πŸƒπŸΎ

You have every right to be delighted, it’s an amazing achievement! Often, it’s the point where you realise you CAN do this. You did exactly the right thing in taking it steady. You found your magic pace where it feels like you could go on forever ….. well done πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘

Brilliant post! Well done - that’s a great feeling doing that run (one you never forget) πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸ» just be careful on the next run - it caught me out as well as many others but if you keep it slow you’ll be fine πŸ‘πŸ»
