PB - 4.74K in 30 mins/5K in 33.25 min
Week 9 complete, yes thatβs what I said; π
I still canβt get this into my head.π€
From a fatty on the sofa to a runner - thatβs me!
The programme, the friendship and all for free!!
Never say you canβt, Iβm proof that you can;
An old bird in lycra, helped by MJ βthe manβ! πͺπ½
The ups and the downs, the highs π and the lows; π
But with the Health Unlocked forum your confidence grows. π π
C25K has really changed me;
My fitness and diet are good now you see!
Iβve worked really hard and Iβll never turn back;
To the fatty on the sofa, as Iβm staying on track!
Park runs are next - wow thatβs unreal! ππ»ββοΈ
Thanks to C25K and the difference I feel!
For the help and advice - I thank you all; π
Stay in touch and keep running with your eye on the ball! β½οΈπ
Feeling happy - mission accomplished! πππͺπΌ

Great post & πcongratulations on your graduation and PBs!βοΈ
If you are keen to do Parkrun you can register now and log your 5k time on their (not)Parkrun results board. It's just a bit of fun, but worth doing while you are waiting for the official Parkruns to restart.

Go you! Yeah, it's awesome isn't it. I only wish I'd discovered this forum a few weeks sooner, maybe a bit of moral support would have made the early weeks a bit easier. As someone who hated physical activity up to not that long ago, it's actually amazing how much I look forward to my runs now!
