[Belindauk Graduate]

Wohoooo well done the first weeks are the hardest as it's fighting those little demons that sit on your shoulder whispering silly comments again well done

[useitorloseit Graduate]

It gets easier now!

[Hidden in reply to useitorloseit]

Hmmm are you sure ? lol

[useitorloseit Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yup - only 6 runs not 8, and you hardly notice that they are longer. I'm not saying the whole programme gets easier, but I thought the mental aspect of moving to Wk 2 was good

[Hidden in reply to useitorloseit]

Ah hadnt looked at it liked that Definitely looking forward to week 2 and mor eimprovement ,thanks useit

Hi Ade Many thanks and well done to you

[Hidden]

Thank you Belinda like many i never thought i could run for 10 seconds never mind a minute , still early days but very happy with Week 1

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Your welcome. Just take it easy and you will do it. I learnt that pretty quick, slow and steady.

[Hidden in reply to Belindauk]

Slow and steady it is

[MarkyD Graduate]

You are well on your way, fantastic.

And you've got the hang of this C25K lark: run, post, rest (repeat until graduation).

[Hidden in reply to MarkyD]

Thanks Marky

[MarkyD Graduate]

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Running addiction? You better believe it, Rob

[LalaEghiz in reply to Hidden]

I'm starting Week 2 with my next run and am thinking about that more than a big meeting at work. I know I'm getting addicted too

[Hidden in reply to LalaEghiz]

Hope your Week 2 goes well

[GettingFitter Graduate]

Well done Rob. onwards and upwards!

I agree. I completed w1r3 on friday and I felt I could have run longer but I am going to stick rigorously to the program. I am going to start w2r1 today. I really hope I can complet the whole 9 weeks. I am a bit scared as I csnnot imagine ever been sble to run for 30mins but I am going to keep trying. I really wznt to aim to do a parkrun eventually but I am also a bit scared as my local one has over 400 runners normally and I am worried about keeping the volunteers waiting but thats a few months off so I think I just need to concentrate on one day at a time.

[Hidden in reply to natalie123]

well done on completeing week1 Natalie am with you on sticking to the program, i really couldn't imagine running anywhere before I started C25K, walking upstairs was an effort !! 30 mins does seem like a lifetime but so did 1min to start with , I completed week3 yesterday I would like to do a park run once i complete this lets see wha sort of winter we have first Hope your week2 goes well
