Well done and a big congrats for starting the programming 😊🏃 I was just the same, always would say I could never run my knees would never stand it. I guess at 47 curiosity got the better of me and I gave it ago, only 2 runs away from graduating who would of guessed it.

So stick with the programming its simply fantastic and takes you to places you would never believe you could go, and it really does become addictive. And the support the forum is amazing

You go zezie

What a great start! If those first 2 felt alright then you're already way ahead of a lot of people at that stage. I was cursing Laura between ragged breaths (when I could get them)! Keep on going, it really is an amazing programme. And this forum? Well I couldn't have got through without it :)

Welcome!! I hated running too! It was a joke among people who knew me that I'd rather miss a train and wait an hour for the next one than break into a light jog to catch it! Now I love running (I can hardly believe it myself, really)! The C25k programme is simply amazing, following it will change your life and be one of the best decisions you'll ever make. Stretch, listen to Laura, go slowly, take your rest days and before you know it you'll be running for 30 minutes!

This forum is full of incredible, inspirational people so do use it for advice, encouragement and to let us celebrate your successes with you. :)
