Well here I am on W9. Managed 30mins, OK, I'm no Usain Bolt, but at least I DID IT! Running in Race for Life 5k on Sunday. I aim to run it this year, on previous years I have walked it....so fingers x'd! To anyone out there contemplating this programme, it looks daunting, but if I can do it at 63....you can too! Just keep at it!

Usain Bolt can't run far anyway - a quick sprint and he's all done in! Good luck for Race for Life on Sunday :-) mines in July. And may the distance power of Mo Farrah be with you! ;-) Good luck with completing W9 xx

Congrats and good luck! What an achievement ! I've yet to get up nerve to think about proper running "events". Good stuff. :)

Congratulations Boomer! I bet you're pleased that's done with. Onward now to pastures new. Have you downloaded Laura's C25k+ podcasts yet? They will take you on to the next stage if that's where you want to go

Good luck with the RFL
