Hard going today, legs like lead and I wanted it to be over so much. However I kept going till the end. The supportive words kept coming into my head. I was going slow but you know what, who cares. I shuffled for 28 mins.

Thank you everyone, you are amazing xx

Well done! 28 minutes is 28 minutes no matter what the speed. It is hard isn't it when your legs just feel as though your running through cement! I did find that drinking plenty helped with the heavy legs but sometimes we just get a rough run. Keep on keeping on, only 4 more and we can break out the bubbly :)

Well done Jazz! Great effort! Nearly there, remember take it easy, but as your well into c25k now, try and run a tad faster for the last 30 secs of the run, see what you have left in the tank! Only if you feel happy with that though! It will get easier as you graduate and keep running constantly, getting more fitter, but take it easy for a while still..😊
