Don't really post on here a lot but thought I would come on today to tell everyone that I am officially a graduate. I started C25K 8 1/2 weeks ago, it has been a journey but I can proudly say I managed to complete each run without giving up, think my mental attitude and stubbornness out weigh the physical side cos some days I thought I was going to die πŸ˜‚, but I done it and at 44 and never ran since school I am proof that the programme can and does work πŸ˜ƒ

Congratulations.

You have not just developed your body but I am sure your self esteem has had a boost too.

Just remember you are still a very, very new runner and you need to continue slow and steady progress as you run the world.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Congratulations. Yes I too believe it's as much of a mental (if not more) challenge as a physical one.
