First run without the app

Well, what can I say, I finished the app runs on Monday, so today I was thinking, you know what I’ve done it, I’ve proved to myself I can do this! You don’t need to run ever again... I got home from walking the dog, still telling myself you don’t need to go... When all of a sudden there I am, in my running gear telling myself you do need to go, you can run without the app.

So on go the earphones, Spotify running, David Bowie hits playing and me! Warm up walk and then 🏃🏻‍♀️ I ran and ran, 1km went by and I’m thinking a while later it must be 3km by now bit nooo I look at my watch and I haven’t even got to 2km yet 😱😂

Anyway, I kept going, still powered by David Bowie all the way to 5k, my first 5k, in 31 mins and 57 seconds! I’m so proud of how far I’ve come, from struggling to run for 60 seconds to running just over 30 mins for my 5k.

All the newbies, and the ones having a bad day( I had a few bad runs) trust in this C25K app, it really does work! 🏃🏻‍♀️ This was my favourite run so far, now to get that 5k in 30 mins in the bag 😁🏃🏻‍♀️👏🏻
