I'm so chuffed, amazed and proud of myself. Graduated this morning and took my two wee dogs with me to boot.

Looking back over this journey, it's been a fantastic experience and I. So grateful to this awesome app C25k and the wonderful people on here who have advised and encouraged me along the way... So, what to do next?

Oh and I lost a stone in the process too! 😁

I've loved this programme from wk3 onwards. I don't think I knew I would complete it until week 7. I've surpassed my own expectations with this. Thanks and enjoy it 😁

Well done, a great achievement. Very envious about the weightloss - maybe I should eat less!

ShashHR profile image
ShashHRGraduate in reply tosheps

I've tried to make better food choices during this time. It drastic but being mindful what I eat. If it's worth the calories I have it. If not, I don't. Most of the time that works. Good luck and thank you 😁

Wey hey Shash.... That's fantastic lovely. Really chuffed for you. Such a trenendoys thing to achieve and you achieved it. I think I'm may do one of the other NHS podcasts for strengthening, plus running on alternate days. Could be a plan for you.... ☺️

Wow so proud of you having shared our running journeys .... so great and enjoy the buzz of such a massive achievement .

Lots of people rpt wk 9 others seem to move to stepping stones ... I won't reach 5k in 30 mins so will rpt wk 9 until running further and pace increased ( well that's what I'm thinking ...)

Weight loss awesome too

So once again a humongous congratulations to you from me xxxx ❤️❤️❤️
