W8 R3

When I started C25K I wondered how I would ever get through this, almost collapsing in a breathless heap after 60 secs of my first run, to my own amazement I have now made it to the end of week 8 - yipee! , I have to say it was a toughly though today, the heat didn’t help! Mentally today I kept yearning for the days of walk run walk, so enjoying the run a little less than I had been. Hopefully my motivation won’t wane!

You're doing great! Week 9 is really enjoyable, I thought. Keep at it and the 30mins will come easier.

Thanks Plodder, that’s encouraging to hear

Me too! I never ever thought I'd get this far. I wished for intervals in week 8 too, but week 9 is great! Well done- 1 week left!

Thanks Sami, Reassured to hear I’m not the only one. Yes 1 week left but plan to keep running

Same!!. I start week 9 on Monday. I said right from the start that I probably wouldn't finish it but I would give it a go!!. No way will I give in now. I won't do 5k in 30 minutes but who cares?. I may do 4k and if I feel ok next week I may carry on after 30 minutes. But if I don't it doesn't matter.

Exactly. I thought I would have given up after a few weeks - I’m the sort of person that doesn’t exercise, never been to a gym 😂. But the running has grabbed me, I think it’s enjoying being outdoors too

I started it on a whim after a few 🍷 one night and got hooked 😂
