1st Runniversary

[TheTaffSnail]

This day last year I started the first run of C25K and like many others struggled with running for a minute. Since then, encouraged by members of these forums I've run at least 3 times a week. My longest run has been a half marathon distance. Today I ran 10k into Cardiff - on the Taff Trail of course. I went to a lovely tea room after and had tea and cake to celebrate! I started running for my mental health and it has helped me so much and I'm in a much better place.

Thanks. Also meant to say thanks to everyone posting on here. I don't post often but check it most days. It really helps to have a community where people understand my obsession 😂

Well done, happy running anniversary- love the idea of celebrating that with a run to a real room. Must remember for when it's my turn 🤗

I really love to read things like this. Everyone has their story just as every run has it's story too. I'm much the same as you in running three times a week and hopefully one day will build to HM distance. There's no rush but what is comforting is that we can really run anywhere we like now.

Your post is inspiring for me. In one year you can run a half marathon, I only hope I can achieve the same. Thank you for sharing and happy running 😄

I thought that 5km would be plenty for me. To my surprise (and anyone who knows me) I enjoy the long slow runs. Once I get going I don't want to stop!
