Well, my first Couch to 5K Run was Saturday 9th January - And now I have officially completed the Couch to 5K 9-week runs.

Yes, I did a number without a day's break ... but that was only because I felt I could.

For all of you who are just starting, or are in the middle or near the end ... DON'T GIVE UP! You can do it! and the feeling is amazing!

I can do the 30 minutes now with not too much ache or pain - leaden legs at times but did it nonetheless.

Thank you all for your positive support ... this has been quite a start to a new journey.

Many congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.

Heavy legs can be symptomatic of poor hydration. As a runner you need to drink a minimum of 2.5 -3 litres of fluid each and every day, running or not, as mentioned in the guide to the plan.

Keep running, keep smiling.
