me too felicia w3r1 today. uphill and into the wind. found it a bit of a struggle but so pleased I managed it

The wind was strong today. I ran Wk5 r1 today and started off running into the wind, I felt like I was going nowhere.

Oh yuk, I've got a horrible stomach bug, that rules out tonight's run. Hope I'm ok to run on Friday, I don't want to lose momentum now. I did w4r3 on Sunday, and I have to admit w5 looks a bit daunting, especially that 20 minute run, it seems a massive step up from w4. How did you guys get on with w5?

[cinnamongreyhound]

We did have quite a windy day Saturday evening but that's about it!

Had to laugh at your loose trousers FeliciaHardy, must be losing weight!

[cinnamongreyhound]

Yes you will do it MadMonkeys! Pretty much everyone I've seen since joining this thread two years ago had been worried and all have done it!!! Hope you're feeling better soon :)

I have started a new thread as we're very close to the end of this one.

You'll manage it madmonkey. My advice is set yourself a steady pace that you can maintain for the full 20 minutes.

I managed a windy 5.5k last night. First proper run for a week due to my chesty cough. It was good to get out.

DS and I are looking forward to running club tomorrow night.

Hey Ladies, I completed C25K under a different name earlier in this thread, and have been keeping an eye on the thread.

Felicia my running trousers currently have a large tuck in them. At the waist band I've started stitching about an inch either side of the seam, and taken out a triangle that finishes at the top if my thigh by gradually coming in towards the seam with back stitch. Its still holding a few months later. Might help your trousers falling down situation?

Great running everyone.
