What a crazy thing this c25k programme is - coughing and spluttering at the end the early runs but stuck with it and now waking up at the crack of dawn three times a week and running (jogging) in the rain, wind (Ciara), ice and lovely sunrises!! It's now W7 and finished both this run and W6R3 with a 60s sprint finish. And managed to lose a few pounds in the process. Unbelievable. I'm even beginning to believe the fantastic Jo W when she tells me I'm now a runner! Wherever you are in your c25k journey happy walking, jogging, running.

It is crazy isn’t it? One minute your dreading 90 seconds, then 5 minutes scary .... before you know it you’re doing 20 minutes 😆

Definitely, and even thinking about the logistics of squeezing in one or two runs whilst we're away at CentreParcs next week (something I would never have contemplated doing before starting c25k). I'm hoping the access roads should provide a nice loop to jog round without getting horrible lost 😃
