That doing the C25K and being in this forum, also involved some of the most creative writing anywhere on the net!

Honestly the posts on here are both inspirational & entertaining, and the comments among the kindest and most supportive possible!

I know what you mean, I love this forum, and it's really helped me enjoy running as a complete novice, who never ran even at school because I hated it so much and always got bad cramp. I can't believe how much fun is to be had out there and in here. :-)

That’s because regular running helps to ease the stress and pressure of everyday life, encouraging the creativity you’ve so far witnessed, while improving levels of fitness in the process.

For me, whenever I run, I prefer not to listen to music, as I concentrate upon nothing other than repeatedly placing one foot in front of the other, while listening to the sound and rhythm of my breathing amongst the backdrop of tweeting birds and rustling of trees, for example.

I do still take my phone with me, but it’s purely used to record my pace and distance.

Moreover, the regular ‘high’ experienced after a run isn’t something that ever diminishes, hence why some people continue to enjoy the activity well into their twilight years, even if they weren’t quite as sprightly as they once were.

I was out running this morning and I was delighted to see leaves silently raining from the trees. Not a hint of a breeze but the leaves were gently fluttering down. it was magical☺

You are right Davoda 😊 This forum rocks😄

I think we are all surprised by what we have acheived and that the c25k plan REALLY works we are all on a permanent high. Wether we have just finished a run or are looking forward to our next run we just want to share that feeling. The support is amazing.

Happy running everyone😊
