Week 5 run 3 - Done!!😁

This is weird to describe.

I didn't want to do this run! I thought 20 mins was a big challenge. A run too far?

But I had to do it.

I plodded on.

When Laura said you have 10mins to go I thought I couldn't carry on.

But somehow I kept going and when it got to 4 mins left that's when I felt it!

My ankles felt wobbly and legs and I was like what is this feeling!! Time felt sloow but I pushed through and did it !!

😁

Thanks everyone! And you can do it!!!

Congratulations to you Fitness2025 on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run of C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 but be careful about the first 2 runs as they are back to interval walks and runs.

Thank you!! ❀️

I felt every time I did this run (at least 3 times over the years) that I had to remember the marathon rule which is to start slow and then go slower.

With Laura at your side you did it very well done

Over halfway to the podium
