One more run to go. I can't believe it- back in week 1 I wouldn't leave my garden and now I can run in public (for 30 minutes 3X a week from now). To all the new starters out there just keep at it. Every week the sense of achievement feels bigger and better....

The c25k programme is a life changer! I never ran in my garden (don't have one) but I started out in deserted areas of Copenhagen in the earliest of mornings, just to avoid people's gazes. And now, this weekend, I took part in my first 5k race/event with more than 2500 runners. I would never had thought that I would do something like that!

It's amazing isn't it and so are you - bring that graduation run on - can't wait to hear about it 😀👏

What an inspirational post and so motivating. Good luck with your final run then graduation. I could hardly manage running one minute and now today I did 2 sets of 8 minutes, I think we do get hooked on this running thing and it is a life changing experience. Well done

Fantastic! I go out at 6am so hardly anyone is around and I can avoid being seen. I hope I get over that by the time the clocks go back because I don't fancy running in the dark!
