When I first started C25K I was doing it on the treadmill at the gym - I was told to put it on an incline - I then got told my graduation was at a local parkrun so decided I better go and try it outside !

I found it much harder as I spent more time at first looking at the ground so I wouldn’t trip up - but now I’m more confident and love it !! Graduated 2 weeks ago and done 2 5k park runs x
