Why I am doing this?

I decided I would start running when I noticed I was putting in weight 1 month ago. I found couch to 5K and waited until I was on study leave to start it.

I was very fit before however, I haven’t been riding my horse very much recently and found a eating habit of crisps 😂

I have picked up cycling and eating slightly healthier (I STILL WANT MY CRISPS 😂)

P.s. I will opt for healthier crisps 😂 if that is a thing 🤷‍♀️😂

Good for you getting started with C25k! I hope you progress through until you're running non-stop for 30 minutes one day 👍🏃‍♀️👏😊

I sympathise with the crisps, maybe have a look at the healthy eating forum for ideas regarding food. I look forward to seeing how you get on with the runs 😄

I also hope study is going well.
