I did it!!!

Amazing. Would never have believed it 9 weeks ago. Struggled from start to finish all through the program. Feel super proud and am also feeling better overall, a real bonus. Special thank you to my (runner) husband for his encouragement and tips. I also really benefited from this forum, particularly at points where I thought the leap was too great or started to lose faith. Sincere thanks to everyone who posts, it really does help. I intend to continue running, aiming to increase my speed at lower distances first then add distance. Downloading that app was the best move I have made in years.

Very well done! And you should be proud, that's brilliant!

I'm just done W1R2, but struggling with the 60 second run.. so with advise from the guys on here, I'm repeating W1 gotta be able to run 60 or I won't do the 90... I'm good with that cos I know I'll get there eventually!!

Honestly I found it tough from the start. It helped me to push on the walking, by going as quick as I could and then trying to make the run bit as slow as I could. It helped me breathe. Good luck. I know you will do it and be so glad. X

That's what I'm doing, kind of, run what I can and "speed walk" till 60 is done.. then brisk walk...

Congratulations RoseM1, that’s a great achievement!👏👏You’ve done something amazing and you should be very proud!🙂

I completed C25K a couple of years ago. Like you, I wouldn’t have finished without the support and advice I got here. This is such a lovely forum and everyone is friendly and helpful. 👍

I’m still running, as I hope you will be in a couple of years. It really is a life-transformation!😊

Congratulations once again. Enjoy your graduation!🏆

Thank you. I’m feeling pretty good right now. I totally agree about the forum. Although I was too shy to post I found great comfort and assistance in reading, especially when the going was tough. Great to see that you are still running. Looking forward to setting more goals and being brave enough to post in future.
