20 minute run to celebrate the end of week 3

Needed to get some energy out of me today, so decided to just go on a run and stop when I wanted to - I did 20 minutes and could easily have done more! I actually kept a pretty decent speed for most of it, and sprinted a bit at the end. :D

It's fascinating how C25K has really built up my stamina in 3 weeks - I honestly love running now! Going to keep this extra run I think, and build it up an extra 5 minutes a week.

Looking forward to week 4! :D

Wow! Well done you. I definitely couldn't do this after 3 weeks!

Thanks - this has given me extra encouragement to potentially join my university cross country club next year. :)
