Really pleased to have completed my second run of c25k. I am so unfit that I go bright red, almost purple and sweat drips off me, but I'm out here making a positive change.

I was feeling really down before I decided to embark on the programme and I am already feeling so much better, even after only two runs. I felt more confident today, I wasn't frightened about failing, finishing today felt great and I am looking forward to the next run on Friday! I really never thought I'd be saying that....

It's ok the bright red face and soaking in sweat is ok I still get it. I'm glad you're really enjoying it and looking forward to your next run. The physical and mental health benefits are amazing. Well done you 😊😊

This post just fills me with happiness. :) The transformation in attitude, confidence, happiness that can come about through this programme is truly remarkable. I know I've certainly experienced it, and am still doing so. Don't worry about going bright red etc, it goes with the territory! Well done for getting your trainers on and getting that run done, hope you're looking forward to the next one now :)

Aw thank you :-) It is so lovely to receive encouraging comments from graduates of the programme, week 9 and running for 30 minutes non-stop feels a long way off but I'm determined to keep going.
