I did it!! W9R3 achieved 😛never thought I’d be able to get this 71 year old body there. Having never run before I am not ashamed to say I’m proud of myself! Not got to 5k yet but I will.

Massive well done to you Veryan! Don’t worry about not getting to 5km, the majority don’t. But the title of the plan wouldn’t be as catchy as ‘Couch to 30 minutes’ would it! 5km will come on due course maybe in 30 minutes, maybe not. It takes me nearly 50 minutes and I graduated last August - but as long as I can run it I’m happy! So on with those consolidation runs and then the world’s your running track!
