I did it!!! Wahooo!! 5.1k on last run of week 9

[Yellowteacher34]

I cannot believe I have actually done it! I have just completed couch to 5k and literally on the last run managed to reach 5k.

I really pushed myself and ran the heat I have ever run.

This program and this forum have been amazing throughout and I cannot wait to continue running.

I consider myself a proper runner now and can not wait for the next one.

It was a real journey for me with lots of ups and downs and there were times when I though I wouldn’t make it. Stick with it and you too will get there!

Good luck all!! 🥳💪🏻

Nicely done. I've come to the realization I'm not going to do 5km in 30 minutes by W9R3, good to see others achieving it.

Thank you. It’s the first time I’ve got close to it! I really pushed on as I knew it was the last run of the programme and felt pretty knackered by the end.

Keep the faith, you never know! Good luck - you’ve got this! 💪🏻

Nor will I but....... Look at what we have achieved. I would never have thought I could run for solid blocks of time when I started on this program. Keep going.....

Congratulations on completing C25K. Did mine a week ago. Feels brilliant doesn't it. Enjoy you're success. Well done.

That's fantastic well done. It really is mind over matter isn't it?! I'm coming around to believing it too. Self belief and belief in this program and of course... Amazing forum support.
