Done it W6R3

At 58 years old and 2 stone overweight, I can't belive I've actually run for 25 minutes. 7 weeks ago I couldn't run for 30 seconds, so it just goes to prove the program really does work. Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. Looking forward to W7.

Me too...about to tackle week 6 run 3

which I’m feeling quite apprehensive about. So this is encouraging for a newly turned 55 year old :)) Thanks for sharing!
