Anyone can do it!

So I used to run and gym a lot before my wife and I had our amazing daughter. I stopped then and it came to the stage I was feeling crap and started the couch to 5k. I finished it in about six and a half weeks not thinking I made progress.

But this morning at 05:30 this was my run, my fastest ever.

If you have doubts, don’t! I’m 6ft, 35 years old and 17st 11lbs! If I can do it, anyone can. Couch to 5k is amazing!

They can... all the folks on here are awesome, and they will slowly and steadily get to those 30 minute runs.. Which Couch to 5K plan did you use... this one is a nine week programme..... you are a very speedy runner.
