Never thought I’d complete it! Wk9 R3

Third attempt at Couch to 5k. Other things (abysmal weather/ travel of work) always got in the way of the first two. Combination of stopping work and lockdown changed my mindset. I am 62, not a natural runner but after 9 weeks, I want to carry on!

Sometimes it seemed a struggle and my legs felt leaden but Jo’s keep on running mantra worked.

Amazing programme. It gently and cleverly draws you to the last phase of running for 30 minutes.

Where do I find information on consolidation runs?

Thank you to the team and all who post here. Reading the posts was part of my route to successful completion.

Congratulations! Well done! I also completed it just two days ago, also on my third attempt, and I'm still reading through the guide to post-C25k running that IannodaTruffe has linked to. Lots of info in there.

Keep running!
