And absolutely gobsmacked!

If anyone had told me that i would run for 30 minutes without stopping following an app, would never have believed it.

But adding the whispering tones of Mr Johnson, some great tunes and occasional friend for company, it worked!

Wasn’t easy, sore knees, lack of motivation, heat, rain, more sore knees, but I have done it and feeling o top of the world!

Now the 10km 🤔 - oh yes.... bring it on!

Congrats you should be chuffed. Thanks for posting. I’m over the halfway mark of the C25K programme. As I’m reading many 9:3runs, it is really encouraging to me- to see so many people succeed. Well done and of course you should celebrate this -as loud as can be🙂🎓🎉🎊🎉🎉🎊👏👍🏽

Slow and steady was my mantra, amazingly it worked and for longer runs, breaking down the time, knowing that I had run for 5, 8 or 10mins before made it manageable for me.

Go for it and good luck!

Thanks for these very useful tips. Will definitely be doing so when I have to do the longer runs.
