Does anyone know who developed the c25k programme ? What is / was their running background ? What's the explanation for it working for so many unfit non running exercise avoiding couch potatoes ? Is it witchcraft ?

Yes, it's a young fella who invented the programme for his mother. I will have a look for his details. BRB 😊

Definite witchcraft (or wizardry perhaps)!! I get how it builds incrementally to running 30 minutes but how on Earth does it get us all loving running so much?! Absolute mystery!

You still have a few weeks until graduation, don't you? Your feelings may well evolve in the next few weeks! :)
