Couch To 5K // Week 5

Week 5:

Run 1 - 3x5 minute runs with 3 minute walks in between

Run 2 - 2x8 minute runs with a 5 minute walk in between

Run 3 - 20 minute run

Run 13:

Okay so this run was AMAZING. The first 5 minutes flew by, the second was fine and we sprinted the last half of the third 5 minute set. SPRINTED!!! Today I'm putting up screenshots of the tracker and the run map to show you the true inaccuracy that is the tracker. Just look how long the 3rd Kilometre is!!

Run 14:

Today was pretty tough. This run was two sets of 8 minute runs and was the longest we've run so far in Couch to 5K. It was nowhere near as bad as we were expecting it to be! This was also the last run I have a partner in suffering for. My sister is going back to uni and abandoning me to these runs.

CHEESY MOMENT ALERT!!!!

Thank you so much for running with me B, you're a total babe and I am so going to miss your angry chat while you're in pain and running. KBO!

Run 15:

So today was the day I had been dreading since week 1, the 20 minute run! Why you go from two 8 minute runs with a 5 minute break in between one day to a 20 minute run with no breaks the next I don't know!!!! But I managed it, I'm genuinely quite proud of myself that I've got this far. And managing this 20 minutes has made the rest of the weeks seem doable. I'm feeling pretty positive about this whole running thing now!

How are you getting on with couch to 5k? Let us know @SimplyKarah10
