Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted on here....I've had technical problems, broken phone......couldn't log in, severe chest infection, followed a month later by sinusitis! So.....couldn't run for quite a few weeks.....might even have been months.....got to thinking I'll never be able to do it again!.......Anyway...here I am, I ran 4k this morning in 35 minutes.....I'm still building back up, but still haven't ever managed 5k. What I wanted to say, if you're not so bored you've stopped reading by now😁, is, I'm sooooo glad I didn't give up, I might not ever be any quicker, I might not ever run 5k, but I can run.....and I love it!! These days I use the coaching app on Samsung health to pace set for me....so, if you're in the first few weeks of the C25K programme, and finding it hard (I did, check out my earlier posts!) Don't give up, it's so worth it! I genuinely think that if I can do this, anybody can😁....I'll stop talking now.....just wanted to share.....😊

Good to hear from Sonia that you enjoyed your run today, it did not matter regarding the time, the main thing is you got off the couch and went for a run, congratulations. 😊 πŸƒ
