10K for the first time

[warrenw65]

Hi all hope your couchto5ks are going well. 😀

I graduated last January on New Year’s Day. This was after years of inactivity, weight gain and being diagnosed with an enlarged heart. 11 months later I have just completed my first 10K and although not fast it was something that when the couchto5k journey began I thought I’d never achieve. Since Jan I’ve done loads of 5ks, a marathon in a week challenge and now this. To be honest it was the help and advice I got on this forum that got me through. I didn’t have an enlarged heart and I’ve lost a little bit of weight but more importantly I feel fitter and always try to do 3/4 runs a week. If you’re finding it tough believe me I did too, very at times, but that feeling you get from graduating and the health benefits are so worth it

Good luck all 👍🏼
