Yes! Just completed it wk 5 run 3 I can’t believe it I couldn’t run 30 secs before I started! I read a number of posts last night to prepare and it really helped, especially where people highlighted the psychological bit of getting through it so thanks all.

Good luck for all your runs if going today

I am repeating week 3 this morning as part as my retake runs as I was off running for about 6 weeks due to a sore hip, thankfully no longer sore. I Just looked at what is involved, quite complicated with all those different walking and running intervals. This second time I will have Laura with me as I bought a new Smartphone 16 days ago, the first time I did week 3 I had to memorise all the runs as my old phone had not got enough memory on it to download the C25K app.
