Graduation Run Completed. Amazed

I have just returned from Run 3 of Week 9. Graduation feels pretty great, especially as 9 weeks ago I struggled to jog for 1 minute continuously and was gasping for breath. Encouragement from C25K folk motivated me in those dark moments. Week 7 was my worst period and stopping looked pretty attractive. As a 60 year old guy I can highly recommend this and congratulate everyone participating, at any point on the course. Thank you all. And good health.

wow! That's fantastic ! So inspiring. I love hearing these success stories about completing c25k. Being new to this I'm just about managing W2 R2 (it's a struggle lol) looking forward to being able to say I've completed it too.

Well done you!

Hi Debze

Most of us doing the C25K seem to struggle at some point. Just don't give up. Although I have now jogged successfully for the three 30' runs I cannot say that I'm totally happy with my breathing. But it's vastly better than when I started.
