Redoing c25k

Hello

Some of you know me on here, I graduated in 2015.

I still pop in now and again, but due to various health issues cropping up, my running has dwindled over the past year or so and lost my running mojo, but have just managed to keep up some form of cardio. Anyway, this week me and my wife slinkylinky who graduated in 2016 have restarted c25k at w2 with r1 going OK and will be out later this morning in the sunshine (for a change) on w2r2, and looking forward to it, and getting back into Parkrun again and eventually to being able to run 30 mins, 5k & eventually a 10K again and possibly a HM but that's a long way off for me.

I'd welcome some motivational prompts from other members as the weeks go on in c25k, and I'll report back in time as the weeks go on..

Dave

It will be super to have you here posting your progress...you have so much experience and good advice and that Slinky is back on track too is just fantastic.

You and me both, Dave.

I just restarted this week after very nearly a year since my last proper run.

I went back to W1R1 because I don't want the recurrence of my knee issues which stopped my last attempt in September.

We know we can do it, if only our bodies will cooperate.

Not what you're looking for?
