What COULDN'T you do -

[Bazza1234]

before C25K??

I heard somebody say that they couldn't run a bath!

Somebody else said that they couldn't run out of sight on a dark night!

[Wristy Graduate]

go out and NOT drink on a Saturday night - I never had the willpower! now with much longer Sunday runs, I know it's the only way.

Does this count?

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to Wristy]

Yes --- that counts!! In other words- you can now do something that you couldn't before C25K!

[RunningForBroke Graduate]

I couldn't run errands (meaning that I had no energy and wanted to laze about).

[Noaky12 Graduate]

Well I couldn't run the length of myself before C25K & now I can!

There's a specific hill that I always struggled to walk up without stopping for a breather or two. Now I can walk right up it without a problem. I can't run up it yet, but I'm working on it. ☺

I used to say 'the only thing that ran in my family was insanity'.

[gary_bart]

Donate blood. This is what started this whole thing for me. Over 2014 my resting pulse rate kept rising, till it was something like 110, and I realised that if that trend went on I would be in big trouble. It's now about 70, which is what it's supposed to be.

My trainers are now essential sports equipment... not a fashion accessory.

And that extra stamina has so many new benefits

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

I used to say couldn't run for love nor money. Now I run for Love and bling 😀

[goonkeepgoing Graduate]

Before C25k I couldn't imagine me saying "For our wedding anniversary, shall we go hill running as a treat?" 💑

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

Before running, I would never have contemplated a pair of trail shoes as a potential Christmas present!!😅

[ancientrunner Graduate]

I can run for the train now- used to think it was hopeless to try and run. Mostly I catch them.

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to ancientrunner]

What do you do with them after you have caught one??

[ancientrunner Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

I let them take the strain!!

[ancientrunner Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

Actually Bazza - that's a reference to an old advertising campaign in the UK so may mean nothing to you!

[amateurwriter Graduate]

before c25k I used to run across roads looking like a penguin waddling, I love penguins but I hated looking like one running, now I don't run like a penguin I run like an actual human being running

[davelinks Graduate]

When I first started running, the only thing that would run was my nose, now I feel fitter and can sprint a short distance..😄

[jaynekate]

Unfortunately I still can't run for a bus, a train, across the road or even the length of myself unless I have a sports bra on! And I only wear one for 'proper' running 😊

[Hidden]

Walk up the stairs without heaving myself up on the handrail. I can run up several flights now no problem.

[mcgurranhouse Graduate]

I couldn't run the length of myself and definitely couldn't fit into size 10 in anything!

[pidgeon92]

I couldn't sleep as well. I still have a bit of insomnia, but I'm not awake for hours on end in the middle of the night anymore.
