I just wanted to say thank you everyone for your wise words & encouragement over the last 11 weeks and bless the C25k app for getting me running - I’m loving it! I completed the final run today, pushing on for an extra 5 mins to get to the magic 5k 😊 Consolidation now for a few weeks before heading for 10k. Good luck all you runners ❤️ x

Awesome, and a great time! I'm nowhere near that quick, but hope to follow in you footsteps tomorrow.

Thanks Mike - I’m sure there’s some sort of sorcery in the app as my times really came down in the last few runs. I did the maths last night & realised that just another 5 mins or so would take me to 5k so I went for it!

Good luck tomorrow - where does your route take you? In the 90’s I ran all over Shawbirch, Wellington & Priorslee when I lived in those areas. We only left Telford for Scotland in October last year. (You’re gonna tell me that Telford is your surname now aren’t you? And that you’ve never been to Telford the town 😂)

Looking forward to your graduation post 👍🏼

Haha, yes I still have a place near Telford, (Shifnal) hence the username, but mostly live in Switzerland now. Tomorrow’s run will start at a little mountain village accessible only by cable-car, and will (hopefully) end at another cable-car station about 5km around the mountain. It's hot here so need to stay high!

That sounds awesome - very envious! My kids went to school in Shifnal, and I taught most of Shifnal’s teens to drive before I retired! All the best for tomorrow 😊
