Well, how amazed am I???? Two and a half months ago struggled with the sixty second runs and didn’t think it was fair to increase by 50% each week. I have stuck with it through a sore knee (thought top of cliff running was a good idea) aches and pains to finally achieve my goal. I have reclaimed my knees and feel more toned. So at 61 I am proud of myself.
Reading all the comments on this forum has been an incentive - thanks everybody 👍

Congratulations Lynne, graduation for us oldies feels all the more amazing. How come we didn’t discover running before now? Well, girls didn’t run at our school, the one or two attempts I made didn’t work, but then I discovered NHS C25K. It works! Enjoy grAduation. 🏃♀️👏👏🍾🥂🍾😁
Congratulations! I also graduated last week and I know exactly how you feel. After run 1, week 1, I seriously wondered if I'd be able to complete it. I could not imagine running for 30 mins non stop. I still don't look forward to it to be honest but the feeling when a run is completed is brilliant. I want to try to keep it up for as long as possible. What a great achievement- well done to you and keep running!
I am one run behind you, could be the same journey! I thought the first one minute run was a massive ask, couldn’t understand why it didn’t start at thirty seconds and don’t talk to me about knees! Many congratulations. You are a runner! 🏃♀️🍾💐
