W9 R3 at last!

I am delighted to report that I completed the programme this morning! Still huffing and puffing near the end but I did it. Hope to do my first park run on 28 March so will keep repeating week 9 and try and improve my speed.

This has been something I never thought I would be able to do, so there is hope for all. Good luck and just keep chipping away until you get there xx

Many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

This guide to post C25K running may be helpful healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and gives advice about increasing speed, which is that you don't try to get faster on every run.

Keep running, keep smiling.
