Good stuff, well done! Slow and steady really is the way to nail these distances ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

If you really struggle at any point either stop for a breather and/or walk for a bit It can mean the difference between success and failure ๐Ÿ™‚

You donโ€™t want to feel like youโ€™re dying out there! If you do, maybe you are overdoing it so take Care! Better to slow down and get there in one piece ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you, my breathing was absolutely fine all the way but my legs felt tired by the end and posture became sloppy, once I pulled myself up , I managed a lot easier, Iโ€™m aching now though ๐Ÿ˜‚

Well done! Great job!

Itโ€™s tough as we increase the distance isnโ€™t it?

Well done AJ, great effort and really pleased for you ๐Ÿค—

I agree with misswobble, the odd walk break does no harm on the longer distances, youโ€™re not racing anyone and it doesnโ€™t really affect your times ๐Ÿ˜Š

Iโ€™m hoping to to reach that sort of distance in the next 2/3 weeks ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ

Enjoy your running journey ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Thanks Ted, Iโ€™m amazed at my ability, 6 months ago despite wanting to run a half marathon, I never thought it would be possible where as now, thanks to the c25k and forum, I now feel it is possible and I enjoy each and every run x
