Not posted in a while but thought for anyone new to C25K I’d let you know of some of the benefits with life after the programme.
I like many others wanted to get fitter as I hit my mid fifties and also lose some weight.
So I started C25K and successfully graduated some three months ago,
I’ve been running 3 or 4 times a week every week since, including on my holidays ( that’s how addictive it is)
I’ve stuck to the 30minutes in the main with some weeks adding either a fast 20 or a leisurely 40 minute run in to mix it up.
People have been saying how much weight I’ve lost and how well I look, so I thought let’s see if it’s true so on the scales I stood AND GUESS WHAT - No significant change - however whilst packing for my holidays I thought I’d try some of my favourite evening dresses on - you know the ones - those you keep because you think you’ll get back in them - GUESS WHAT - I did !! so that’s pretty much over a whole dress size down and they look better than before too, even if I do say so myself.
So I took the tape measure out and WOW what a shock the inch loss is incredible.
So the moral of the story is don’t worry about the number on the scale as it IS working - you will benefit physically and mentally so keep at it and enjoy it.
Happy running everyone.
