OMG i have just gone and done it. Got up today full of cold but this didnt deter me. Thought id give it a go - bit slower than normal but who would have thought at the start of this i couldnt run 1 minute without panting.

Its true what they say trust in the shedule and it can be done.

I wont be able to do the 5k in the alloted 30 minutes but who cares. As long as i can do 5k i will be a happy bunny.

If i can - anyone can 😊

I wasn’t looking forward to it either and I struggled in the first 5 minutes but after that I was okay - u will be ok I’m sure and it’s a great feeling

Excelellent, it's such a good feeling, isn't it? Don't worry about the 5K thing, the title of the plan is misleasding, should be "Couch to Running for 30 minutes 3 times", but I guess Couch to 5K has more of a ring to it!

You're doing great :)

You don't have to do 5K.. just do the 30 minute runs... that is all it takes to Graduate...very well done.... :)

Now the runs get longer and you can relax into them wonderfully!
