Oh yeah! Just did week 5 run 3!
I really can't believe it. I've been looking ahead all week asking myself how I would possibly complete this run. I almost repeated week 4, but decided to trust the program and I'm so glad I did. Thanks to all the previous posts about this daunting run, I just took it slow and slowed down when I needed to. The key for me is keeping myself distracted. No clock watching allowed. I'm so proud of myself! Thank you Get Running!

Way to go!! Thats got to feel good
Re: Oh yeah! Just did week 5 run 3!
I feel the same way. I have been a bit of a lurker as of late.
Congratulations on making it through Week 5 Day 3. I just did the same. And can't believe I made it. I started pretty good but had to slow down to keep going. And no stitch this time too.
Strangely, I really don't like to run. I am doing it for fitness. But, last week I had to miss a couple days due to schedule, flights, etc. And I would lay in bed at night thinking how I really wanted/needed to run. Not like in the, "gee, I really need to get to the gym" sort of way, but in the "man, I kinda miss it" way.
Dreading today's run, I completely know how you feel and a big congrats! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.

Re: Oh yeah! Just did week 5 run 3!
I just finished week 5 run 3 today too!! Woo hoo! So proud of myself, a few weeks ago 20 minutes running was unthinkable!
My legs do feel like jelly now though, which hasn't happened before. 5K still feels a long way off, I'm running so slowly that I doubt I'll be doing 5K in the 30 minutes in week 9.
Just out of interest, how far have people managed to run in the 30 minute runs in week 9 (excluding the warm up and cool down walks)? And for those of you who have run a full 5K, how long did it take you the first few times?
Thanks!

Re: Oh yeah! Just did week 5 run 3!
I did 2 miles with my 5 minute warm up and 20 minute run. The cool down was after I hit the 2 mile mark.
That was W5R3. At that pace, I (including warm up) I am doing 4.8 MPH. Basically, just after 30 minutes, I would hit the 5K mark.
How far did you go in your 20 minutes?

According to runkeeper, I covered just over 2 miles, 2.13 to be exact. That was including my warm up and cool down though. I'm quite slow!
