It’s been around 6 months since I graduated from c25k and for anyone doubting its effectiveness please believe in it . I still run 3 times a week not fast r far generally around 7k a time but I’m happy with that as I’m running 🏃‍♀️ I’ve also lost 3 stone double bonus 😀 so listen to the coaches and the advice of the guys on here and ull smash it . Good luck 😉 shell

Wow that’s a pretty good report. Well done you. 👍

I’m just starting out and really doubting that I will ever be a runner. I imagine I shall just get fitter and walk briskly 3 times a week.

We shall see hey??? Watch this space haha
