Just did W3R1 this morning and realised that during every run up to now I have expected not to get through it or to find it a real struggle. But it isn't. Then I reminded myself that is precisely what C25K is about. It does exactly what it says and makes running not only achievable, but a pleasure. I first started this programme about six years ago and gave up because of a brutal work timetable. Now aged 65 and still with a full working week, the difference this time is my running takes priority, even if it means getting up with the sun. Loving it so far...
