First post having now completed the 9 week course. I just want to say to anyone reading this who has just started or has yet to start, go for it! I would never have thought, just over 10 weeks ago, that it was possible for a man in his 40's who was never a sporty type to run for 5k never mind 5 minutes. Just work your way through the podcasts. You are in very good hands with Laura! I also found the posts on this site to be most helpful. Just booked my first 5k fun run and that's just the start. Good luck all.
Week 9 - Run 3 - Done!: First post having now... - Couch to 5K
Week 9 - Run 3 - Done!

well done, I did my week 9 run 3 today as well, totally agree that this is a brilliant course. I would recommend a park run if you have one near you.

Wow! Well done! Hope you had an amazing celebration. I completely agree with how amazing this course is. I'm just about to start Week 6 and am already seeing the incredible difference in my fitness and well-being. Good luck for your fun run.
Brilliant, I can't wait I have just started week 2. Have you had ups and downs or did you find it all went well?

As the resident forum pedant, may I first of all congratulate you on graduating, and then query your 5k in 5 minutes.!!?? The British Olympic movement would like to sign you up immediately, sir. You name your price.
