This is my first post and I never thought I would get to where I am now. I have NEVER ever done any exercise in my life. I’m almost 36 and promised myself I would get fit once I stopped having children. And here I am 1 Run away from graduating. Never in a million years did I think I could do it. I thank you C25K you have changed my life and given me some sanity during this last lockdown 🙏🏻 and thank you for such a supportive community ☺️

Congratulations on almost completing C25K, well done on all those runs, 26 altogether, only one more run to go, good luck for your graduation run.

Fantastic! Only one run and then graduation 💪🏽

Well done, can't wait to hear that you've done your third run and Graduated. Like you, I hadn't done any exercise and decided to start walking at the start of lockdown last March. Fast forward to January and I decided to try the C25K and graduated yesterday.

I've just had my third Great Grandbaby in February, all three are boys :D x

That is amazing! Well done! I have tried to suggest my mum try the program but she is very reluctant. Congratulations on your 3rd grandson, I have 4 sons 😂 my mother has 6 grandsons!

Well done for getting into running at your age. You are young compared to some of us. It is ideal to start now. Your body will thank you. I wish I started earlier.

Thank you, I wish I had been encouraged as a child/teenager. My husband and I are are going to restart the program with our 9 year old and 7 year old. I hope they enjoy it ☺️

Well done, you’re so nearly there! I’m about 20 years older than you and haven’t run since I was at school (and then badly and hated it). I too can’t believe who this programme has turned me in to and I’m just out for my first consolidation run, getting excited about planning a new route!!
