So I started my health app 30secs or so before the start of the run and stopped it when I finished...........

I RAN 4.9k in 28minutes!!!!

But I'm happier that it felt comfortable, I've recovered really quickly during the cool down walk and felt normal during my stretches.

What's even better is that 2 friends will now be starting C25K because they see the benefits I am now reaping! They want to start when I graduate so I can do it all again with them as support. I wont do every run with them but I will join them once a week.

I know I keep saying it, but thank you C25K, it really has changed my life in such a short time, I wish I found it years ago.

P.S. - I ran in shorts and vest top tonight, felt brilliant!

Happy running everyone x
