I didn’t realise how bigger deal this was going to be and it will continue to be. I’ve went from 20st+ 51yr old man to running for half hour in 9 weeks (cross country at school last time I could do half hour). I’ve lost half a stone and feel yards(!) mentally better. Ta for comments and likes. Ta Sanjeev! Happy running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ folks. Next??

Yep it's a massive deal. Just got back from my w9r1 and I think is only us C25kers who know what we've achieved! Bloody well done GTTOBS

Well done. I got there in the summer then was wiped out with bronchitis. Back up to week 6 and it’s so much harder this time so I know everyone has their own journey. Keep up the running.
