Trust the programme!

After a delay of a couple of days due to Stormy weather I finally completed Run 3 of Week 5 today

I was a little daunted by the 20 minute run, and nearly backed off to re-do run 2, but I remembered what people on here have said regularly- Trust in the process!

So Run 3 it was and once I settled into a rhythm I actually enjoyed it and feel very chuffed to have completed this personal barrier

So for anyone feeling apprehensive about your next run - whichever stage you are at - trust the process and do your best!

Now it’s on to Week 6 - I’m actually looking forward to it!

Well done to you for trusting the program, but more importantly for trusting in yourself. It could be the most marvellous training idea in the world but if you don't do it you don't get anywhere.

The magic of C25K is how rapidly you know your abilities are growing as the weeks go by (even if like many of us you take longer than a week to do a 'week'). You've now completed six of the nine weeks so you're well on the way to graduating. Just stick with it, do the runs and give yourself the best Christmas present of running for 30 minutes!!

Oh, and let us know how you get on :)

Congratulations to you Redbuz on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run for C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 but be careful as the first two runs are back to interval walks and runs, from run 3 no more walking breaks.
