Well where do I start with how great this programme is ? I have always said oh I cant run !!!after 30 seconds I would stop breathless . Well today I have just completed week 3 and I couldn't be more proud. This programme has retrained my brain into enjoying exercise and I am totally committed to completing the 9 weeks . Hope everyone else doing the programme is doing well .

Me too vivdaly50 ! Great that you're loving the programme. On WK6R2 the second 10 minute run had a song with the lyrics, 'it's so easy' repeated over and over and, you know what? I think they were right!

Good for you viv! I started c25k not expecting to like it at all, just thinking running is something you make yourself do to get fit, I'd never really thought it would be enjoyable but I'd come home feeling great, however much I struggled. Sounds like you're hooked. Definitely stick with it, it really is worth it.

It's true, it's a little bit addictive, and can get a bit pricey I'm finding, as it has opened up a whole new world of shopping that I would previously have never even noticed! Keep up the positivity!
