I have decided to leave the Admin team

As the title says, I have decided to move away from my position as Administrator on both the Couch to 5k and also the Bridge to 10k forums.This decision was taken after at least a couple of months thought!

And to be clear, the decision was mine and mine alone, and also has nothing to do with my recent health situations.

I am not leaving HU and will continue to contribute on Both forums.

I thank everyone for their support over the years, it's been fun !

Regards, Ian
