Enjoyed the run once I got into my stride, I ran 2nd and 3rd  km in same time, am getting the hang of this running.

Oh well done Patrick. That's the spirit.  Week 8 already!

Just keep plugging away slow but sure. Steady as you go.  Enjoy yourself, that's the main thing. This is fun!

Well done!

It's great when it all starts to 'click' and you can sort your pace out.

Whoever thought we'd be able to do all this running malarkey? Good luck :)

So close to graduating now - doesn't seem long since you were worrying about starting out!

I cannot believe it was only February when my Daughter-in-law put the c25k app on my phone and told me I should start running. At the time I was the family "taxi" to parkruns, marathons etc. plus marshalling at same. I now look forward to joining them in local parkruns, At 73 I have no dreams of competing in marathons, well not yet!

  

Not only have you completed W8 R1 but, more importantly, you are enjoying it.   Who'd have thunk it?

I remember you starting out and look at you, just cruising through it. It'll be great to be at park run as a runner. Not far to go now Patrick.
