Well today I completed the programme- I am amazed, but proud of myself for achieving what I never thought possible!

If I at 61, obese & not run since school can do this then so can you!

I am slow, & repeated the early weeks before moving on, and am nowhere near 5k in 30 mins- but that doesn't matter, I can build on that now!

I love having this forum to encourage & be able to encourage- (although the app has refused to post anything from me for the last few weeks). So thank you everyone for helping me to do it!

Well done runningDixx , great achievement. You set a fine example of what the C25K programme can do. Good luck on working towards 5k in 30 mins :)

Or anything else you want to do. 5k in 30 mins is not for everyone. I for one will never achieve it. But I can run 10k at the age of 60, and intend to do 10miles by early next year.

You can choose to do whatever you want graduate!

Well done

You are an inspiration

Well done that's amazing. You should be very proud of yourself xxx
