To anyone just starting out on the Couch to 5k programme- be encouraged. You will be amazed at what you can do especially when you are convinced otherwise.
Five months ago I couldnβt run the length of the room.
Today I ran my first ever 5k.
My son gets married tomorrow- a double cause for celebration!
Happy running!

Congratulations, nice to hit a milestone. Hope all goes well with the wedding, your starting on a high π. 36 minutes is a pretty respectable time around 7min/km is a decent pace, if you were at Parkrun you would be somewhere in the mainbody of runners so donβt worry about speed
Congratulations on running your first 5K, as the 'mother of the groom' good luck for your son's wedding tomorrow, you can tell all the guests at the wedding about your 5K run as well as celebrating the wedding of your son, enjoy the day.
