Here's my run from this morning. I'm training for my first 10k in May. I've managed two 9k runs but fell a bit short today - have got a bit of a chesty cough (feeling worse now! ). Never mind, I'm doing alright.
So it's nearly a year since I started C25k. Prior to that I was a bit chubby, drank a bit much and my only exercise was walking (which is good bit running it aint!).
I had a bit of a health scare on top of already having a pacemaker (since the age of 11). So thought I really should take some action to become fitter and healthier.
I'm just a completely normal person with no previous sporting achievements whatsoever. After taking a good look at the programme and reading this forum I decided to go for it. And what a great decision that was - just the best life changing thing ever.
I am in no way a morning bird but nowadays I'm out running before 6am three times a week. I love shopping for lovely running gear. Suddenly it seems that everyone is running! I just love it.
It really is a case of is I can do it then so can you. I'm just an ordinary individual who has found fitness through the simplicity of running.
10k will be my max. I have no desire at all to do any more than that. And I think that's fine. I'm happy with that and my family are proud that I am looking quite trim
So newbies, stick with the programme. There's a great bunch here, really supportive and fun too.
Happy running everyone. And I'm looking forward to reading more tales and finding out how two of our superstars did today.

You are AMAZING! Well done taking this plan by the short and curlies and giving it what for! PLUS you're doing a 10K soon so good luck for that run. You will easily do it. I have the faith.....
Blimey you did well doing that with a chesty cough! You've had a year of great achievements pinkangel and you should be proud. Your post is so positive and you've clearly got the bug!
Yeah, I see what you mean.. it's definitely not just "only" is it. But I am certain this will be my max.. well may be the odd additional k or so.. maybe..
