Week 5 complete

Well I amazed myself with week 5, run 3! Couldn't believe I ran for 20 mins without stopping. The plan is working well ☺️

I think my energy levels are improving too. I definitely feel stronger and fitter. I was able to do pilates last night and then the run today!

Getting ready now to travel tomorrow to the UK for Christmas. Looking forward to starting week 6, run 1 on Christmas day 🌲

So far so good! Off to finish up some work and enjoy the evening.

Congratulations to you Irisbgirlrunning23 on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran, I wish you a very happy 🤶 Christmas, so you are going to run it on Christmas Day, you could wear a Santa hat and Christmas jumper

🍏👏Week 5 in the bag is a real milestone!! Good work and really well done too for adding Pilates to your training! That will help your running and help prevent injuries too! Enjoy your Christmas run.. hopefully in a Santa 🧑‍🎄 hat. Whatever they are always fun! Welcome home tomorrow too.

The plan is certainly working well, keep enjoying it.

Pace yourself kindly at this point so that your body has time to adjust and you don’t pick up any annoying niggles or injuries.

Happy Christmas and Happy Running to you.
