Morning, just need a bit of bolstering up, is there anyone else out there on week 7 (or above) running at around the 10min/km (6km/hour) pace??? I know lots of...

Seeing the posts of you wonderful people can occasionally give a a little twinge of jealousy. The reason being is that I live in central London and when I see...

Just attempted week 5 run 3 for a second time and I’ve only gone and done it!! Legs feel like jelly but am feeling very proud of myself. Onwards and upwards

Did my first run/walk this morning. Didn't think I could run even for 60 seconds and I managed it. Very pleased about that. Never thought of myself as a runner...

Having got as far as W8 without using headphones, I see a few runners out there wearing headphones, and I wonder if they’re an advantage or not. I’m happy not...

Out in the fields 30 minutes plus 10% as recommended and it was great 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I always hate that initial first toxic 10 at the start. Is there...

I graduated in August last year without pain or injury (apart from tripping over tree roots and skinning my knees), but had to take four months off because of...

Set off this morning on consolidation run 6. I knew that today was my day to hit 5k and I did it! I had been struggling with the runs in the heat up to now...

I find it difficult to get into the breathing any tips?

Hi guys. I’m so proud of myself at managing run 2 of week 5 this morning. There’s such a jump to run 3 though I’m feeling uncertain. Can I really go from...

So I was getting on well with my consolidation runs when I started getting pain behind my left knee. My hamstring muscles had been feeling a bit tight but I...

W9R3 after work tonight I must be honest I felt tired but I did it! So pleased with myself particularly as this time last year I couldn’t walk without...

Hello runners!!! ⭐ JUST ADDED - 5K PLAN!!! Not reaching 5K in 30 minutes yet? Have a look at this plan!...

Hello 👋 I completed week 6 tonight and I do actually feel great now it's done however whilst I was doing it I had various conversations in my head about my...

Started on 13th April completed C25K 20th June. Took me 10 weeks but I am so pleased with my efforts. Most runs from week 6 were a real self motivation...

It was a humid wet day with non stop drizzle. For some daft reason I felt apprehensive as it was my last run but nevertheless, I just got on and ran. Once I...

I attempted week 5 run 3 on Sunday. I was away on the south downs and predictably I just couldn't cope with the hills. I seemed to just have no energy to do...

As a 'newbie' to this, can I ask if I go for a run when I first get up in the morning, should I have breakfast first or just something like a banana? Thanks

Woo hoo! Completed Week 9 run 3!!! When I started c25k on 4th March this seemed so unattainable. An overweight 62 year old with an arthritic knee, surely I was...

Would never have thought a few months ago that I would willingly get up at 5am and go out in the pouring rain let alone be able to run for 20 continuous...

I was really tired this morning and didn't get out until 7-15 am and found it very warm. I felt a bit nauseous too but carried on regardless. I didn't get...

Has anyone measured how much distance they cover in the 'runs' leading up to graduation?

I started my journey in November 2019 and if memory serves me correctly I managed to get to week 4 over the course of 4/5 months. I was doing ok but Covid hit...

So, despite what I said in my last post I actually did want to run 5km today, though I knew I wouldn’t do it in anything like 30 mins! Due to my pausing mishap...

How many consolidation runs do I need to do? Finished the c25k 2w ago- having done it all in gym..and have done 3runs since then and have ventured outside...

I have been doing my consolidation runs three times a week since I graduated. It’s been nearly a month since I completed couch25k but things aren’t getting...
