I did it!! W9R3 achieved πŸ˜›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 β€˜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!
