Week 9 run 3 completed

SharniaGraduate•

when my daughter suggested we start the C25K programme i told her i can't run, it wont work, i'm too fat and any other excuse possible.

I had been dieting since jan and she convinced me to give it a go. I nearly passed out on the 1st run but continued on, struggling everytime we went. Once we got to week 5 i started thinking i can do this and by week 7 the end goal was in sight. I was going to graduate from this programme.

So today was my final run, i can run for 30 mins not yet reaching 5k but i know that will come in time. I have found something i enjoy to do, giving me such a sense of achievement and helping towards my weight loss goals.

I am looking forward to moving on to consolidation and then trying to run further.

If you think you can not do this, you can.

Keep positive and follow the steps.

Congrats 🥳 that’s amazing!

You have clearly overcome so many hurdles to get to this point as it’s such a mind game and changing that voice in your head to a positive one is so difficult!

Enjoy consolidation and your new found running skills !
