I actually did it! It's taken nearly a year and 3 attempts at C25k but last Friday I ran 5k in 0.43.34 without stopping. I never thought I would be able to do this at 52 years old and 3 stone overweight but I did. If I can do it anybody can so keep going everyone
I RAN 5K!!!!!!: I actually did it! It's taken... - Couch to 5K
I RAN 5K!!!!!!
