In the beginning...

Hey everyone, I'm new to C25K. I completed W3R1 today and found it surprisingly enjoyable. Now I'm not a runner and never have been, but I have also never been this unfit before so am enjoying the guidance to a healthier me! If anyone is local to Taunton, I'd love to miss up my running and go with someone who is at the same level as me once in a while, so get in touch!

I'm using Strava because I'm finding it great to see the improvement as well as feel it.

Sounds like you're doing great. And if you ask me - you're out there running, you're enjoying it even a this early stage - sounds like a runner to me.

If you're ever in Western Canada, I'd happily join for a run.

I'm definitely loving the weight loss more than the running 😉

Sorry would love to join you in beautiful Taunton, but Italy for me at present. Really great that you can see and feel your fitness improve - happy running

Hi MuddyJane im in Taunton too and just about to Start week 9. What is Strava?

[MuddyJane in reply to Bek2000]

It's a running app that tracks your GPS and gives you stats on your running.

Well done for getting to week 9.... It's feels like a distant dream at the moment.

I'm over Bathpool side of town, are you local?

[Bek2000 Graduate in reply to MuddyJane]

cool, I'll have a look at that.

thanks, it seemed a long way away when I started, but it feels great to be there at last-such a great programme! I'm very slow, but so glad I can now run without stopping!

I'm in trull.
