My wife completed her first 8x1min runs on the programme, with just some acheing in the legs on the first 2 runs, then the rest were OK, and now looking forward to Wednesday.☺

As I ran with her I thought, was I really this slow? And yes I was! I asked her if she was holding back? No, was the answer, just what she was comfortable with..sometimes I can't believe how well I've come on! She did really well, but it's early days..😊

Good on her. Give her a pat on the back , or the bottom for that matter since youare the husband, and make her a cup of tea (no sugar).

Nice of you to stick by her and motivate her.

She always wanted to do it, but what spurred her on was how well I did with c25k and the determination to complete it and carry on running, from doing no excercise at all.. Plus a bribe..😀
