I have just done Wk8 R1 and am so pleased! C25K is so good in how its built me up from Wk1 R1 to where I am now. Everyone's experiences and support on here have kept me going - thank you!! Never thought I would be able to get to 28 mins but I did it today!! Sorry overexcited.com as close to 50, overweight, unfit and didn't really have the self-belief that this would ever be achievable, but here I am! Me doing exercise and enjoying it! Thank you C25K! And everyone on here!

I just think how I was on Wk1 R1 and that for me completing the run regardless of my speed as long as I complete the run then I feel nice accomplished something. You can do it!!

Well done. I'm close to 50 too. 7 years close. Just the wrong side. It's amazing what we can do. I am aiming for 7.5K tomorrow. I started in early September. Enjoy your graduation soon. Just don't push it thinking you have to get a PB each time you go out. I only learned that recently!

I try not to look at PB and figure finishing any run that I start is an achievement to 8 weeks ago. I played sport at sch but not since so I keep telling myself anything I start and complete exercise wise is a good result.

Not what you're looking for?
