Tonight was my first run since race for life on Sunday 6th July... I started C25K to be able to run R4L... So once I had graduated the program I was still training for it... Tonight was different... I ran because I wanted to...

I am proud of my achievements... I am healthier and fitter and have lost weight... Yay... And I ran R4L in 26.31... Sorry for boasting but I am chuffed... Still to decide what next...

Happy running everyone

That time was amazing. I'm at the same stage as you. My r5l was Tuesday and I did 27min 33s. (See I boast too.) My first 'non training run is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to the new attitude.

If you enjoyed running a "race" as part of a group, try a parkrun. You may have heard of them but if not, these are timed 5k runs that take place all over the country and are free to enter. I did my first one last weekend and really enjoyed it.

Have a look here ...parkrun.org.uk/
