Today I took my first steps on the C25k adventure. I ran for 8 minutes ....amazing for me if it was broken up with brisk walks!

Well done Sallysr...it is a great adventure, do some gentle stretching after your warm down walk while your muscles are still warm..

Good luck with W1 R2 😊x

Good work! And it truly is an amazing adventure. Each run builds up strength and stamina, so be sure to take it nice and slow, enjoy your rest day and enjoy the journey!

Well done Sallysr. as Oldfloss says slow and steady. It really is life changing... if you read a lot of other posts you'll see its really about running for 30 mins rather than 5k by the end of week 9 ... but C230mins isnt as snappy as C25K. Happy running

Really well done. Keep at it, keep posting and enjoy!

Well done! Great photo too - looks as if you're doing C25k in a fabulous place (nothing quite like running near the sea).

Happy running, and keep posting!
