Hi i live in Neath and im looking for runners doing the c25k just for a bit of company and mutual encouragement. I'm about to attempt week 5 run 3 with some trepidation- it's a big jump from the current 8 minute run

You’ll be fine. You’ve done the preceding runs so no worries. No hurry, enjoy yourself 😃👍

Hi I'm from Port Talbot and I'm starting week 6 of C25K tonight. I found W5R3 a bit of a struggle but plodded on and just about got through it. I'm lucky enough to literally live on the beachfront which makes running a while lot more interesting with its views. How did your W5R3 go?

I did it up the Gnoll. It was tough. But very satisfying. I'm doing week 6 run 3 tomorrow.

I have done a few runs on Aberavon beachfront. Good place to live. I feel tied to the gnoll now i do laps around the pond i knoe exactly where my land marks are.

Are you a member of a club?

No I'm afraid to join a club because I never stick to anything and always give up but I'm doing well with this and I'm getting hooked

I will try to join a club when i hit 5k but it'll be hard for me to commit given shiftwork and family.

Not what you're looking for?
