Week 9 last run today, feeling absolutely amazing

Joined a gym and also doing weights and swimming.

Never run for so long in my life, hated school cross country.

So proud of my self and love Michael Johnson

Wouldn’t have done it without this app

Thank you 😊

Enjoy that last run, and who better to run with than Michael πŸ™‚. He's well loved by many on this forum.

Congrats on getting to the last run of W9, be oh so proud of what you've achieved.

Onwards and upwards and keep on running πŸŽ‰πŸ˜€

Amazing! Go us!

I’m 54 and started a new fitness regime too. I used to ride, then lost my horse so have taken up yoga as well as walking my dog. C25K sounded right up my street (or I’d have tried jogging alone, gone too fast too soon and given up.)

I’m only on W3 (start that tomorrow), but I’m hooked and love running. Hearing achievements like yours are so inspiring! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
