Motivation Just finished day 1!

One of my goals for next year is to run a 5k with some friends in August. I have done C25K off and on for a couple years but I have never competed it or been able to run for three minutes straight. I am feeling really good and I am posting here to stay accountable!

Well done! I'm still running just over a year from graduating the C25K, still can't quite believe it tbh. You can definitely get to running those three minutes, and beyond - just slow down. You're building stamina, not breaking speed records, it's absolutely fine to slow down a bit to get to the end of a run. Will look forward to seeing your updates!

You can do it!! I promise you that you can!

The secret, especially when beginning, is don’t pay attention to your pace. The goal is to consistently get out there to run and do your best. Speed will come with time.
