Hi laurel and welcome to the C25k forum😊...

Ha, you have started, thats the hardest bit over 😉...the plan works and each run is building your stamina and confidence. Take your rest days, they are important and enjoy your journey through the plan.

We are all here cheering you on.

Goos luck with W1 R2 😊...

Wow, week 7 before you even started.

Soon you won't be able to stop yourself.

Enjoy it.

Well I’d did exaggerate for humorous effect but really was about 4 weeks. I have always declared the nothing would ever get me running - but I guess competiveness won, cant be beaten by a 70 year old after all

We had an 82year young graduate this week, so get your skates on!

Well done for jumping off the couch and dashing out the door You will be fine, just trust in the programme, keep posting here, make sure you take rest days and run REALLY slowly.

This forum is fab and I am sure has been a significant motivator for me Enjoy the journey
