To all of you struggling through the early weeks honestly do stick with it - this thing WORKS! I had never run before in my life and I found the early weeks hard - I could never imagine running for even 3 minutes without stopping.

Well, I did wk 6 run 3 yesterday which was the 25 minute run and I loved it! I made sure I slowed down a bit and for the first time I didn't feel like I was going to run out of oxygen - I covered 4.8k and could have gone on - I honestly did feel like a proper runner. I'm so so pleased with my progress.

C25k you rock!

Yep, it does work! ;) l was falling apart during the first 90 seconds, now I'm enjoying myself working towards 21K.

Please take it slow, steady and ever so easy, you body will love it and repay you.

Whatever the urges, do not push yourself, don't go fast (that will come, if that's your thing) and listen to many an experienced head on this forum.

If all aligned, you'll have a great journey!
