Week 1 run 1 - 3rd time lucky!

[CookieM]

So, 2 years ago I successfully completed C25k (hence I am a graduate), but then injured my left knee. Turns out I have some damage to the meniscus along with additional tendon problems and an incorrectly tracking kneecap (due to muscle damage) - all from one fall!! Was finally given the go-ahead by the physio back in October - got as far as week 3 before life and a viral infection got in the way

So today I restarted - hopefully this time I will not only be able to complete the program (again) but carry on running afterwards!

To all those who are making that decision to join us and start running

- believe in the program, it works

- listen to the advice given on here (and read the pinned posts - they are invaluable)

- keep at it - there is no such thing as a failed run, just an extra attempt at a certain week or run

- and keep posting on here so we can support each other

Welcome back... you know you can do this, so relax and enjoy it. You’re running with some new guys who don’t yet know that they can, so you can inspire all of those guys on their journeys too... happy running.

Welcome back.

As you know about the pinned posts already, I won't push them.

Enjoy your journey.
