Well looking back to the beginning of C25K I never thought I would get this far... Me run? That was laughable 8weeks ago! I've never stuck to anything for longer than about 2 weeks in the past and now I am hooked. I've definitely caught the running bug. Went for my W8R2 last night feeling a bit apprehensive because it was rainy and very windy. However it was one of the best runs ever, and as I was very near to the end of the beach at 28 mins I decided to keep going until the end which added an extra 2 minutes on top. I admit I am going at a slow pace but I am finding the breathing much better now too. This program is simply amazing!

Well done !💪😃👍🏃‍♀️ The wind can work one of two ways 😁. Some of my best runs have been wind assisted too. If it’s blowing the wrong way though it can be a right old pain in the arse. Still, rough with the smooth ey

The slow pace is just fine. Stick with it! No hurry. Graduate in one piece ! Good luck 💪
