Half way through C25K! Amazing ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I did W5r2 on the beach this morning on the last day of my holiday in Devon. Thrilling experience running by the sea at dawn and to know I had crossed the C25K half way point contributed to a bit of a runners high!

Itโ€™s official.. Iโ€™m addicted.

Never dared believe this would happen. Iโ€™ve been asthmatic since childhood and so I really a new runner at 45.

Asthma totally under control. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Canโ€™t wait for W5r3 on Sunday.

Brilliant and very well done. Once I got to 6 weeks on the plan I got properly hooked and actually thought the plan was easier after getting past the intervals. Best wishes for the rest of your journey.

Iโ€™m looking forward to bringing my running gear with me on holidays again this year. I love getting up early before my wife and kids wake up and do a 5K beach run. And then relax afterwards on my own with a quiet breakfast and coffee alfresco. Canโ€™t wait.
