Well done, both of you!

Well done. and what a lovely wife. i wish my partner would run with me - but it's probably as well he doesn't. He's a keen ex sportsman and very competitive. He would no doubt turn it into who can get up the hill fastest (not me.)

You are exactly where I am on the C25K I completed the W5R2 this morning and was dreading the 8mins run but could have continued on further, but I didn’t. Kept the schedule but the 2nd 8mins was hard! Not sure I want to do the W5R3!! Good luck with your runs.
