Hi. I’m about the last person you’d ever imagine doing something like this.

I have always hated any kind of endurance running, but I’m 37 and my fitness levels were , well, not good.

So I decided to try couch to 5k.

It’s been hard work but I’ve just completed week 6. Tonight I just ran about 4K in 25 mins. I can already feel the difference in my overall fitness, muscle tone, energy levels.

This is such a great program!

Great job... this programme certainly changes the body fast. I’m not long back from the same run... let’s go kick week 7s butt.

I know what you mean. I am as incredulous as you- right there at the end of the queue with you: NEVER thought i would voluntarily subject myself to running! And here i am, depply thankful for this amazing program that has changed my life and outlook on things. Especially the hard ones!!!

Good luck on the rest of your runs. Your time/ distance is very good! You are almost there!!!

Thank you!

Well done Steve, that's brilliant - I'm really looking forward to reaching you current fitness level and being able to run for 25 minutes... Just a few more weeks! Good work.

Go for it. Just take your time. Also don’t be afraid of repeating a run if you think you need it. I’ve done that a couple of times.

Not what you're looking for?
