So here I am 47 years old and never been a runner. However, tonight in the driving rain, I completed wk2r 2. I am so bloody proud of myself!!!

And rightly so. Running in the rain is something many of us come to find glorious even if it is hard to set out into it, but the early weeks of C25K when there are a lot of walking intervals... you are made of some very fine stern stuff!

Well done! I’ve just done wk2r1. I was a bit worried about it but wasn’t as bad as I expected....it helped that it was a relatively nice morning for this time of year. Good luck with r3! X

I’m 47 too, never been much of a Walker, never mind a runner. I genuinely love running now. (Well, such as I am) Keep going. Sunday past, I ran w5r3, 20 minutes, no stopping. I’m still amazed lol.

Congratulations , I’m 60 and have never run before . I’m doing week 7r2 next and I genuinely can’t believe that the week by week preparation enables us to complete these longer runs . Stick in there , you are doing great x

Well done you. If you can go out in the rain, you'll definitely be able to complete the program. Keep up the good work. It feels such a great achievement as each week gets ticked off
