Amazing, not ran in 39 years, now I don’t want to stop

Just finished my first week. Can’t believe I have done it, as I have not ran since I left school (39 years ago) I am actually looking forward to starting week 2. It’s amazing to think that I might be able to do this .

The hardest part is over, getting out of the door and going for your first run! Well done.

I warn you now that c25k is very addictive! And this will be a really amazing journey. Embrace it and savour it!

Of course you can do it! Keep going.

Congratulations on starting C25K with run 3 of week 1, I am so happy to know that you are actually enjoying your runs, onwards and upwards to week 2. 😊 🏃

It's not a case that you might be able to complete the course, you WILL be able to complete the course.
