Lunch Run: Distance: 2.73 km Pace: 10:35 /km Time: 28m 58s

Fridays run will be for 30 minutes! It's taken a month to get back to where I was in December (and it's no longer on the flat!) so it's all gains from now on! Huzzah!

I have a dream! A dream of fitting into my old rucksack! A dream of shedding excess weight, rising like a phoenix from the couch and developing a healthy outdoor lifestyle!

That's exactly the point of all this. That attitude creates strong motivation and that stuff can be unbeatable.

Well done. I find if I run for 30 minutes regularly i can really compare runs and see where I am improving.

Thanks! And the best thing is, since starting C25K, I’ve lost 10kg in weight!

That’s great, considering Christmas, Easter and Lockdown! 👍👍

Thanks! Actually lockdown has been good in that respect - I'm in Cornwall looking after mum and there are lots of hills! Long, slow ones! So building some proper legs! Another month and I might even get to 60mins! Still as slow as a tortoise though!
