I have completed a week 1 run up them there hills without stopping (my 5th attempt). Even Morrissey popping up on shuffle didn’t deter me. Well chuffed 😬

Great job surviving Morrissey 🤣

That run remains the hardest one I’ve ever done... and you’ve finished it in the hills (I avoided the hills like the plague)

Very well done... you’re right to be so chuffed. Enjoy week 2

Thank you. I love The Smiths but they’re not the best running motivators. Gunna start Week 2 on Saturday. Eek.

Could be worse... I’m into thrash and death metal, try running slowly to that 🤣. The key to week 2 for me was simply to count down the runs... 5 feels so much better than 8. Keep that pace down and you’ll be fine with each run being a little longer.

Congratulations on completing week 1 of C25K, well done, I hope you enjoyed your first week.

Onwards and upwards to week 2. 😊

It’s taken me 5 runs instead of 3 to complete week 1 but I am so unreasonably proud of myself 😬

Well done for getting though week 1, even though you had Morrissey come up 🎶 🤣

Seriously though, keep up the great work ... slow and steady is the way to go.

Thank you. I definitely took the advice given on here and really slowed it down this time and it worked a treat. Can’t wait for week 2 😊

I'm picturing Morrissey throwing flowers down at your feet cheering you on as he seronades you over the cobbles 😁 if you can run through that you're gonna smash c25k for definite!!! 👍👍🥳

Yes huge Smiths fan but only bought Morrissey’s first album. Beastie Boys helped me today 😬

Excellent. I love Eminem but not when I’m running - he makes me run too fast and I get out of puff.

Not what you're looking for?
