week 5 run 3

[PeroxidePixie]

I did a lot of talking about doing the C25K before actually getting off the couch but finally started a few weeks ago. At the end of each week when I looked at what the next runs entailed I would wonder how I could ever do it but would be so pleased with myself when I did and then week 5 and I saw the 20 mins non stop run, it seemed impossible. I repeated run 2 three times so that I could give it a go at the weekend rather than after work. And today was D Day. I followed the advice on this site and slowed down and from the moment Sarah Milican counted me down to start the run I just knew I was going to do it and I did.

I can’t tell you how amazing it feels! I’m definitely off the couch!

Well done! You've now gone over half way.

Just be careful with next week's runs as going back to run/walk intervals can catch you out.

Well done! I had Sarah Millican on my C25K journey. She made me smile ☺ I still go back to her from time to time.

That's an amazing run to do and leaves you buzzing for ages after, you are doing great

That’s my favourite run of the whole programme-congratulations on completing it! Week 6 is a funny one so just watch out for starting too fast after the high of week 5. I had a bit of a crash and burn-that’s common!! Take it steady and you’ll be fine. Good luck!

Well done peroxidepixie! Like you I was surprised by the 20 mins run in W5 but (unlike you) I never looked ahead at the planned runs so it was a real shocker! I actually found myself thinking 'Laura, you b*tch!' until the end of the run, when I realised that I could do it, and Laura had a reason 🙂. C25K is such a good plan!
