When I woke this morning, I knew that today would be my first 30 minute run of the C25K programme. I was anxious but the anxiety was somewhat muted by the fact that after my last 28min run I covered 4.92km and today could be the day I hit the magic 5k

Well.. I did it. I ran for 30 mins and covered 5.3k! I’m super chuffed on so many levels - and can I say that reading so many inspirational posts on this site has played such a big part in me getting here. I’m so excited to be almost at the finish line!

For all the folk on this journey, believe in the plan, but most importantly believe in yourself... you’ve got this!
