Well done for getting to the end of wk1. Try and stick to the plan though, no adding on any extra time so early on in c25k. Good luck 😊

Well done but please be careful of adding time on. It sounds good but it might cause issues as the weeks get tougher.

Well done. I haven’t yet started. I am struggling to motivate myself.

I downloaded the app a whole month before getting around to starting the challenge. Never seemed the right time to start, then one day I gave it proper thought on what I could wear and where I could go where I wouldn’t be embarrassed. I’m 5 runs in now and loving it, you’ll do it when you’re ready, it was a huge step for me to even think about doing it and really you’re halfway to the start line already...good luck and enjoy your 1st run soon.

I’ve been terrible this week! Haven’t gone out-had a hellishly busy week at work so had a flare up, every evening I’ve been too tired. But will force myself to get my trainers on tomorrow and back on track
