So today I got up and ran W9R1 and have never felt better. I can honestly say that I never thought I could do this but now I feel I could go in and on and on. I absolutely love every moment of the runs. The challenge and the feeling it gives me is amazing. I’m looking forward to graduating within the the week, but I won’t stop there.

The c25k app has been amazing together with the support. I would recommend this to anyone wishing to get fit and lose weight along the way.

I’m 52 but feel 22 inside!! I’ll continue to challenge myself.

I share your joy SarahBrown! 🙌 I graduated last week and it feels so good keeping it going! I also never thought I could run and now can't stop talking about it! 😂

Yes absolutely! I've done two of this week's consolidation runs. Sticking to 30 mins three times a week for a few weeks and will then go a bit longer! Love it. I'm so happy to have this forum as friends haven't been convinced yet. I'm doing it with my teenage son, we're also doing weights and we're both feeling really good! 💪💪

Great job... 2 to go... keep loving them and setting up the next challenge. Don’t forget to consolidate a little after graduation then you’ll have a really strong base for adding distance.

W9R3 tonight for me. :) Feels good doesn't it? App says I'm currently running just shy of 7k. Luck with Rs 2 and 3.

I'm using an app called 'couch to 5k and 10k' (the NHS app wouldn't play ball), with Amazon Prime playlists in the background.

Not what you're looking for?
