Well 8 weeks ago I set out on this journey, I got puffed out just walking up the hill by my house. Today I took my car for a service and ran back, 5.86k and ran for about 31mins, started to run a minute early to avoid running up the steep hill at the end but forgot and ran it anyway, not my fastest time but I had to negotiate a major roundabout so running on the spot and the last kilometre was about a 50m gain in elevation (walked!!). But feeling really pleased with myself as previously would have had to ask for a lift. 2 more runs to graduation, I think I can do it now!!

That's amazing, well done, and such a quick time for almost 6K, I am in awe! I only got to 4.3K in my 30 minute runs last week (but did make sure I started and stopped Strava when the running commenced and finished so that was the actual running distance - I'm hoping to improve more over the coming weeks).
Only 2 runs to go, you are smashing this C25K thing, well done you.
I didn’t do it in the 30 minutes it was nearer 43! I was quite a way from home when I finished, thank you for the support x

That's such a good time to run so far!
You must feel super chuffed with yourself - well done!!!

Well done! We are on the same in, my dog and I finished this rub this morning in the sunshine. I can’t believe I’ve got this far in 2 months. Good luck with the remaining 2 😊

How is Mr Jorge?
I think he’s been overdoing it and is still on the couch but he’s hoping to back out again soon 😊
