Went out 1st thing this morning and did my 3rd run/walk 🤣 its very unlike me to be up and out early but i knew if I didn't then i would find an excuse not to go later this evening. Glad i went now but also slightly scared for week 2! 😅

Congratulations! Starting in the first place and then completing W1 is a huge achievement.... so well done.

I’ve just started W5 and had the same trepidation as you, but have found the program is paced just right.

I know everyone is different but found W2 easier than W1.

Well done and keep going, you’ve got this ! 👏👏

Wow week 5! Well done, i hope i can get to that stage, i never seem to stick to anything so really hoping i do this time.

Good to hear its paced well, i don't think i could do much more than im currently doing 🤣

I was the same with sticking to exercise etc ... many a gym has done well out of me for my annual membership used less than a dozen times !! ... but have to say this program has suited me well and still going ... plus there’s great encouragement and advice from fellow C25K people

Did u notice a difference between your first and third run? I don't think I'm ready for w2. My run today was good but I was still completely done at the end of it. I cannot imagine 90 seconds of running. I'm torn between continuing with w1 for another week maybe and trying w2 and seeing how I get on first?

Not what you're looking for?
