Finished!!! Woo hoo!

[Weavil]

Well, well, well. Who'd've thunk it? Couch to 5K completed. From painful beginnings at the end of January, a two week lay off for a chest infection, gammy knees and Olympic-level skills in procrastination, I've managed to finish the whole nine week programme. Cheers Michael Johnson...

I've honestly enjoyed pretty much every minute, not that if felt like it at the time. Can I take a moment to thank each and every one of you on this forum for sharing your stories, commenting on mine, and really maintaining a fantastic community spirit. How we need that, now more than ever. Your journeys are all fantastic and inspirational, and we're ALL runners now.

Once I can get out of here, I'll get some gait analysis done and buy a celebratory pair of proper shoes.

Cheers all!

Omg well done! I just started my first run today... It was hard but I enjoyed the feeling of finishing it... Did you find it got much easier as you went on?x

[Weavil Graduate in reply to Lola2010]

Well done Lola, the hardest part really is the first step. After that, the plan really works well. Try not to look too far ahead, the longer runs can seem quite daunting. Just follow the app, it will work out just fine. Good luck!
