So pleased with my final week 9 run this morning. Not quite up to a full 5k in the 30 minutes but that gives me a target to aim for over the next couple of weeks. My right calf was rather tight but I nursed it along as I was determined not to stop!

Thank you to everyone who posts on this forum - I have found it very motivational and the advice invaluable.

To all of you still travelling along the couch to 5k road - please stick with it. I am 62 and never been a runner just a keen dog walker. I feel fantastic!

And remember - you can never pay too much attention to your shoelaces before you set off .....
