This has been one of the best self discovery journeys I've ever been on. The support from this forum has been a HUGE help and you guys have kept me going through some really challenging times, thank you all so much.

I hit 4.37k at 30 mins and kept going to reach 5k in 34:32! I was chuffed with this as I thought I'd be over 35 mins.

Since starting this programme I've lost 2.5kg, dropped 6.5CM off my hips and I've even inspired a few of my friends to now join the C25K fun too 😁

I am determined to keep going and continue with my running. My new goal being to improve my time.

Wherever you are on this journey please believe in yourself. If I can get here, then I know you can too. I could not run for toffee prior to downloading this app and yet here I am, hooked and eager to embrace my first official Parkrun.

Good luck everyone Xx

πŸ‘ πŸƒπŸΎ 😊 πŸŽ“ It will be there shortly, the administrators are very busy because of the record amount of people who are running C25K and graduating because of lockdown.
