delighted to finish wk 8, really struggled after 10mins, wanted to drop to a walk, but kept going, got to half way and still wanted to stop, then 5 mins left...... can’t give in now........ made it to 28 mins 🎉🎉🎉🎉. It was tough but worth the feeling of completing it 😀😀

Well done for completing W8. I’m hoping to do that tomorrow. R2 was the same for me, definitely mind over matter. I just kept telling myself to get to the next landmark then one more song. Then when I got half way I was thinking ‘I’ve got to run all the way back now!’ 😂 It was tough but we did it. The end is sooo close now. Just 2 more minutes to add. Just 3 more runs and you’re there. You can do it! Good luck for week 9.

Well done. I completed wk8 on Friday. A great feeling. I know week 9 is still ahead, but I’m sure I can find another 2 minutes running in me to complete the 30mins.

Me too, starting week 9 tomorrow and - dare I say - I'm actually a bit excited! On my last run, the C25k app crashed so I ended up doing 31 minutes by accident so I know we can all do this! Good luck everyone. 💪🏻
