Week 2 done! Been doing a bit extra each run as felt I still had a bit more juice in the tank! Today I managed 5.11km in 39 mins including the walks etc finding I didn’t need as long a walk in between! Still going slow and steady! I’m not a first time runner just trying to build back up to being able to do 5km non stop but I’m very chuffed! On to week 3 👌🏻

OMG that's an excellent time! I've been trying this for a year and am at week 5 run 3 now and it takes me about 50 minutes to complete a 5k still. Well done!

Well done.
As a former runner you know how important it is to build up gradually and C25k can form a good basis for doing that, but it is crucial to keep the increases gradual.
We are all capable of doing way more than our bodies are conditioned to do, but not without increasing our injury risk. Sticking to gently progressive training plans is the safest way to push our limits, whilst gently increasing our resistance to injury.
Take care.
