You Can Do It! The amazing C25k programme.

To all just starting, or on the journey, you can have faith that the programme works - I graduated this morning. Take some extra rest days when you need it, and never worry about pace - try to go slow - but always believe the next run is achievable, because the steps the programme takes can sometimes seem daunting but can be done. I am amazed that at age 61 I'm now running for 30 minutes and did 5.14km for my graduation run - very flat though! What a great journey this has been!

Congratulations on completing C25K with that excellent time in 5.14km in 30 minutes, time to get graduate next to your name by going to the September graduation post at the top of the right of the C25K page

Thank you for the link. I can see my main challenge will be keeping the motivation to get out there - getting through to the end of C25k was a huge incentive.
