Congratulations and well done. 55 overweight here and just done it for second time. Went through a spell of injury just after completion which was a set back so male sure you have lots of consolidation. Good on yes. Onwards!

Excellent well done amazing. I completed my first C25K last Saturday and I’m still buzzing about it. So much so as I’ve decided to enter and run the race for life. In Cardiff . Bet you feel fantastic. It took me 50 mins to do but not bad for a 54 year old . Non runner x
