So you couldn't run for a bus 4 months ago but now you can ran a 5K in 38.04, congratulations, also, well done on stopping smoking, that is excellent news.

Congratulations DaveyD71, that’s a great result!🙂👏👏 I graduated (also with MJ as coach) about 2.5 years ago and now I’m a regular runner.

C25K really is a life-changing experience and giving up smoking is too! Very best of luck with continuing your running 🏃‍♂️👍

Well done, it's such a great feeling! 👍

Wow, what an achievement, you must be feeling so proud! I’ll be doing my second run today, reading your story is real encouragement for people like me who are just starting out and running feels like a real stretch to the comfort zone lol... I’m very excited about changing my ideas about what’s possible for me, and dropping the idea I ‘can’t’ run!
