Yay, my next investment from stopping smoking.

Had a gait analysis done and then bought these :)

Taking them out for W7R1 later and can’t wait!

I'm starting to get jealous of your money saving. First headphones now trainers. I'm almost tempted to start smoking just so I can stop and save the money 🤣

All joking aside, you're doing amazing and I love that you're able to reward yourself this way. Aside from the financial benefits have you noticed a difference in your health already too?

All the best for 7:1. It's just the same as 6:3 so you'll be fine, and super fast with your new speedy shoes 👍👍👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

I have noticed massive differences in my health, I am able to inhale better, everything smells different and food tastes different. My heart rate has dropped from an average of 73 to 61 bpm and my skin and complexion have changed dramatically but I think that is because oxygen is actually circulating my body instead of all the rubbish chemicals inside cigarettes.

Strange thing is that without C25K I don't think I would have managed to stop smoking as I have tried and failed so many times before. Achieving the runs helped me believe in myself and the feeling I get from running makes me feel amazing and forget about smoking :)

Just got back from my run, it is a little hot out there but I did it... my new trainers were amazing and I noticed a massive difference. According to strava just in the 25 min run time I covered 3.77km at a pace of 6:41/km so happy days that is the furthest and fastest I have EVER ran!!!!
