12 weeks ago I started on my C25k journey and this is my evening run tonight. This post isn’t meant as a brag or boast - it’s meant as post to show all those on the C25k journey what a great choice you have made and the benefits the programme can have.

I am fitter, stronger and healthier. I have lost weight, sleep better and my mental health has benefitted. I now love running and it is such a great way to switch off after a hectic day.

Good luck to you all . You will smash it 💪🤛🤜. Stick with it. It won’t always be easy but it is definitely worth it.

I think everyone who does it and keeps at it, deserves bragging rights but certainly you do, with those times! Congratulations and I agree about all the benefits, my life has changed in so many ways with this running malarkey!

You have great pace, you are a natural by the look of it .. Well done on your progression that is pretty impressive..

Just a cautionary about the the terrible 2's though .doing to much to soon ..

Obvs every one is different and some can handle it more than others ..

Other than that enjoy 😁😁
