Finished! Whoo-hoo!

I can't believe it, I finished and can run for 30 minutes non-stop. I just need to remind myself how difficult I found 3 minutes running just a few weeks ago. This has been life changing for me, giving me health, confidence, routine, enjoyment (well, sometimes) and a renewed self esteem. I am more proud of myself during the C25K than I have felt in a long, long time.

Thank you all for all the inspiring posts, advice and encouragement.

Well done!

Great to hear it's had so many benefits too. You deserve to be proud.

Now you just need to set yourself a new goal so that you remember to keep running - whether that's to run 30 mins three times a week or take on the Badwater Ultra.

Congratulations! Keep it up!
