Week 4 Run 3 done, feeling pretty pleased with myself so thought I’d have a wee look at what next week has in store...big mistake 😳

Run 1- 3 X 5 mins. I reckon I can do that 🙂

Run 2- 2 X 8mins. Ooh that’s a bit of a jump! 😟

Run 3- 20mins. What just run? For 20 whole mins? What in one go? What the actual F...?!?? 🤯

You can do this!! Slow your pace down and try not to look at your watch too much!

Remember it's time, not distance. If you feel you need to stop, slow to a trudge but keep going. You'll feel so accomplished at the end of 20 minutes!!

Actually from what I've read you've already done the big jump between weeks 3-4, weeks 4-5 isn't actually a big jump.

Yes you can do it, I promise. The key to it is not overthinking, taking it slowly and trusting that the program has prepared your body and realise that it is your head stopping you. You have already run 20 mins.

Everyone single person has a WTAF moment when they see it ! You absolutely can do it.

Yes I'm using the bbc app too - had a peak at week 6 and it looks like a repeat of week 5. I'll give it a go next week & see how I get on.
Good luck with your run @Stringsandthings!!

This is the same for me! Are you using the BBC app? I asked about this on another thread and apparently the original c25k app is different. On the BBC app Week 6 goes back down to intervals which confused me but someone suggested it's done like that so you don't wear yourself out...so today I am going to attempt the 20 min run!!!! Wish me luck!!
