Last 30 minute run completed today. I never thought it possible I could run for 30 minutes. It was not stylish, I was covered in sweat, half the mosquitoes in Cheshire seemed to be following me around and my very smart Bluetooth headphones ran out of power half way round, so several local fishermen got the benefit of Sarah Millican's encouragement as I pounded round the local fishing lake. At 24 minutes I hit an uphill stretch, which in anybody else's estimation wouldn't have counted as a gradient, but to me seemed like the north face of the Eiger. Somehow I kept going and completed. I'm not at 5 k, but the fact that I can now keep going for 30 mins would have seemed to be a minor miracle 10 weeks ago when I started. This program is really good, and the support I have received from this group has been excellent.
Yes ! Finished today.: Last 30 minute run... - Couch to 5K
Yes ! Finished today.

Brilliant. That’s a great post to read. Good to hear how you’ve progressed over the weeks. Well done you 👏👏. Great achievement
I’ve just changed my ‘voice’ to Sarah Milligan. I think she is the best one to have encouraging you along the way 😁

Congratulations. I have two more runs to do so I’m at 30 minutes but not at 5k yet either. I keep telling myself it will come with practice 😊
