In the drizzle this morning I completed W9 run 3. I turned 72 in week 5 and have always loathed the thought of running never mind actually doing it. This programme has been perfect because it gets you to an achievement you never thought possible. I have read lots of posts on the forum that have been really helpful so thank you to everyone. At the start of lockdown and living alone I felt I needed to have a challenge to remember the time in a good way and running has been just that. ( together with some really tricky jigsaws) . Phew.
I’ve done it. : In the drizzle this morning I... - Couch to 5K
I’ve done it.

Amazing - congratulations!
Wow. What an inspiration you are to a mere 55 year old granny doing exactly the same! I too thought I’m not looking back on took down and not being able to find something positive out of it. I’ve just run wk7 R1 and am really hoping I can get to the end in June.
What an achievement for you. Well done! You need a running theme jigsaw to reward yourself! Chariots of Fire, perhaps! 👏🏻🌟

Well done! What a fantastic achievement. I restarted the programme in lockdown and it has been a real help to me mentally in these difficult times.
Keep going and set some goals so that you can continue to work towards something no matter how small. I have tried a few different routes and am now focusing on achieving the 5k but there is no rush I am just enjoying it now.
Best of luck!

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 9 and graduating from C25K, now go and celebrate your wonderful achievement.
I notice that you turned 72 in week 5, well I also graduated from C25K 3 weeks after my 72nd birthday so to be exact it was week six when I turned 72.
