The first 5 minutes were really tough but I did it! When Laura said there was just a minute to go, I realised how far I'd come... One minute was too much just a few months ago!!!

I've taken tonnes of inspiration from this forum so please accept my heartfelt thanks 😊💕 I couldn't have done it without you all !

WOW indeed I'm totally with you I did my w8r1 last night. Thought the last run in w7 was really tough I pushed myself on the last 60sec when I finished I could hardly breath so was a bit apprehensive about the next run, but it was great I even carried on for a couple more minutes at the end.

It goes to show how God the program is and if followed correctly how soon you can build you fitness and the support on this forum is phenomenal.

Keep up the good work

Great effort - great achievement! Well done you💫

You are so right - one minute is an amazing goal at each stage of the c25k - one step followed by another gets us there ............ and this forum plays such an important part encouraging when times are hard and celebrating each success.

So, You have snaffled 8/1 - in the bag 👜
