Well done you! Your face muscles are going to hurt from all that grinning, aren't they? ;)

Well done! I’ve got to say that one is definitely a big ‘moment’, I was so pleased with myself with that one. I’m about to complete week 7 and although I’m enjoying the longer runs, because you do x3 all the same you don’t quite get the same sense of progress but I will definitely be shouting from the rooftops at the end of week 9!!!

Lots to shout about. And us 'older' folks especially need great big pats on backs! :)

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs 🏃🏾 👍.

Well done! I'm very envious as I've had to stop running for 10 days now with low back pain. Can't wait to get going again :)
