Hi I started C25K 3 weeks ago as wanted to do some type of exercise. I have a physical job but didn't think I was getting enough exercise. Totally loving it now and to top it off I have an appointment regarding stopping smoking also. So hoping I will get even better and more healthier

Brilliant, well done you! I need to stop smoking too.
Debston! I am shocked! Please do whatever you can to stop. Your lungs will thank you for it and so will every other atom in your body.
Poppy, hope you can too. Great picture. You’re lucky to live and run somewhere that scenic!
EDIT: No one needs a health lecture, I know, but friends who have given up say it’s the best thing they ever did. I will shut up now.

I gave up smoking a month before starting C25K. Those 2 things are the best decisions I’ve ever made (and I have two children 😉)
Your lungs will thank you and you’ll become a running bore like all of us. It’s all good.
Well done on starting C25K, that’s the hardest part done😊 Just take it slow and steady and you’ll be surprised what you can achieve.
Good luck with stopping smoking too. There are so many aids and techniques so hopefully you’ll find what works for you🙂👍
