Time to get back on track after almost 4 months off!!

So, I completed the couch to 5k 4 months ago now and have let things slip....to say the least! I did a few free runs after graduating but since then, I have completely abandoned running!!! I'm at the point where I'm going to start up again as I miss the amazing benefits I gained from running (mainly sleeping better and feeling more positive about myself), so I thought I'd drop by and say hi :-) This group really helped me when I started out so I'm hoping to gain inspiration from you all once more :-)

If you did it once, you can do it again - and again and again! It took a while to dawn on me that C25k isn’t just for beginners but is a useful structure anytime you want to restart or maintain. Great that you came first to the forum...good luck Kerrisue

Well done.This is the second best decision of your life.🤔

The first time you got some rewards,quality sleep and lifted mood.Pleased for you.

This canbe a life changing experience.🤔

My top tip, re read all the FAQ Posts and members posts and replies, and find a gem that you take with you on your first run and a new one or a few , on all of your following runs.

Your are building a running body and a running brain.🤔

As you complete each training run, share your experiences and things you have learned, because remember these are gems for Newbies and all abilities also.

The C25k programme and community, is a jewel in the crown , in my opinion , of the NHS One You /Everthing HealthUnlocked/HealthUnlocked, Leadership to Health Journey.🌟

It is Amazing, but also amazing for me is how little is known if it.🤔🙈.

Mind blowing, world class, comprehensive gift for all.You name it in health and fitness and it has it all and more.

I am not amazed now, that it has the information and the gems to be life changing.

Go get the gems and share yours.

Enjoy your journey.👏👏

The C25K forum does and has no doubts.

Mentor IT said he never feared a run only enjoyed.🌟

You will experience the reason also and enjoy.💨👏👏🌟
