Half way through C25K! Amazing 😃

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!

It’s official.. I’m addicted.

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

Asthma totally under control. 👍🏼

Can’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.

I’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. Can’t wait.

I’m a running addict and I haven’t run for two days! Will be sorting that out in the morning... welcome to the best addiction!

Great job... wonderful news on the asthma front. Have a wonderful run on Sunday.
