Week 5 finally!!!!

Hi,

I have throughout the years tried the couch to 5k but by the second week it would trigger my seizures (epilepsy) but finally after a large amount of hospital help I have got to week 5 and still managing to run!! Looking forward to meeting everyone and reading stories of how everyones run is going

Amazing. It's a whole different game when you're balancing the running with a medical condition. Keep posting and have an excellent week 5, let us know how you get on 😊

I salute you Iona, you're made of something special.

Despite it having been around forever, society's ignorance of and fearful attitude towards epilepsy still exists, so you and fellow sufferers are cruelly stigmatized and yet you're still getting out there and doing it. You've got to week five and well on the way to graduation! Stay with it, don't give up, we're all behind you.
