Hi all

After completing C25K 2 years ago and going on to complete 10k I quit completely.

Today I got the trainers back out and started all over with Week1 Run1. Glad to say I managed ok despite the ridiculous hills around here...looking forward to joining you all on this trip back to 5k

Take care out there!

Welcome back to running... you’ll soon be back where you were, and you have the advantage of knowing that you can do this!

Hello Marvo69, so nice to see you again. You can’t play hockey now so running is a great way of getting your exercise. You know it works, so enjoy those highs every run. 🏃‍♂️👏🏻👏🏻

Me too it’s been 2 years subs even 4 come to think of it since I ran 5k without stopping and I’ve not ran once since .

However this run was by far the hardest, my lung capacity is significantly lower than it was 3 years ago and I’ve gained a stone a year 😂👌

Happy to have started though

👏👏 well done! I did find it harder than I expected, especially mentally - but not quite as hard as the first time (so far!)
