Week 5 run 3 in the bag!

[Purpledapper]

Whoop whoop, I did it. Slowed right down and managed to run the full 20 minutes. In my head it was a huge step up from 8 minutes but it was ok, I just kept telling myself run for one minute at a time. I didn’t think about what my pace was as I figure that once I can run 5k I can work on pace.

That's a great run to have done 😀

Excellent stuff, well done! Week 5 run 3 is in many ways the toughest run of c2k5, especially psychologically.

Huge well done.... just for now, try to forget about pace, enjoy the runs.... and as they get longer, maybe pop in a little bit more strength and stamina work on some of your rest days.

completing w5r3 is a fantastic experience, for me it was the point where it finally clicked that I can do this. Onwards and upwards, slow and steady and trust the programme.

brilliant! Such a boost to have completed that run- you can definitely do the rest from now 😊
