Finally after months of trying, I have finally managed 5k! It took me 44 mins but I have done it. Actually felt like I could have carried on but I had reached the pond where the dog jumps in. Elated to say the least.

2 months since I graduated too (for the second time). My last 2 runs I had to stop after 18 mins and 22 mins. Today it just all came together. Just me and the dog, no music, no Laura, nothing. Ran in the beautiful woods just looking round. I’ll never be fast but I’m only 5 feet so I put it down to my short legs!

Congratulations to you too.

Congratulations!! I never managed 5k when I was running regularly. I've restarted the programme and I'm determined to achieve it, probably not during the C25K but during consolidation🤞🤞
