I've been saying for a long time 'I wish I could be that person who could say I never thought I'd enjoy running.' After watching Mind over Marathon and looking at the mental health benefits, I started the Couch 2 5K in July. I haven't told many people I'm doing it. I didn't even tell my husband til I came home from my first run. I never thought I would make it through week 2, running for 90 second intervals, and now I'm running for a full 30 minutes without stopping!! I can't actually believe it!! 😊😊😊 #couch25k #graduate #smashedit

I watched that programme too and it also inspired me although I started this app before and gave up in July when schools broke for hols , back on track with w5r3 tomorrow x

Well done, brilliant! I bet you're still grinning :-) What you've achieved is amazing, both physically and mentally, and it encourages people like me a bit further back too. Really, really well done!

Oh - I think there's a pinned message or something about badges...

Brilliant and congratulations to you for your great achievement. The journey is just starting again for you. Keep running and enjoy it. Some runs will be tough, but each one will make you stronger. I'm just back in from a 5K run with a running group. I loved tonight's run. It was one of the rare great ones.
