We'd like to hear why you're doing C25K for a chance to be aired on the BBC as part of the London Marathon programming!

Hello C25K community!

We’d love to hear why you’re doing Couch to 5K. Are you willing to make a short video that could be aired on the BBC to inspire others? We’re looking for quick, no more than 10 secs, videos made on your mobile (and in portrait, please), while you are out on your run.

Tell us:

‘I’m doing Couch to 5k because…’ or

‘I love doing Couch to 5k because…’

We’d like to hear from a mix of runners from starters in Week 1 to Week 9 graduates. Tell us your personal motivation for running, and why others should get involved.

Please email all submissions to [e-mail] with ‘Couch to 5K’ in the subject line and we will use some of the submissions in the London Marathon programming on Sunday 4th October. We will be in touch with everyone whose clip we use, to confirm permission to use.

Looking forward to hearing from some of you!

Me too, if only we can get more of the couch, they’ll feel so much better!

Hi SaffronGracePHE , is there a deadline for these submissions? I'd possibly be up for doing something too

I am on week 9 and just did 5k in 34 minutes! Not bad 'eh. Really was a fitness activity I could do in lockdown which got me out of the house and was hoping it would tackle the extra pounds I put on in lockdown. Latter hasn't happened but I think I will continue after this. Just feel so much better as a result of doing couch to 5

I didn't get to watch the programme on Sunday. Were some of these clips used? If so I will seek it out on Iplayer.
