Runniversary!!

A year ago today I started the NHS Couch to 5K programme. Week 1 involved 60second runs which I struggled to do. A year on I'm now completing the Bridge to 10K, running for an hour and still amazed every time I lace up my trainers.

If you don't think you can do it I disagree ! It's an amazing programme. I recommend it and the support forum, the people on here are amazing too.

Many congratulations EJ! I remember - probably i was on W5 or W6 when you popped up! Sounds like you're going great guns and, most importantly, loving it still - a runner for life by all accounts!

Wishing you many many many years of cool runnings :-)
