So so proud....

Started couch to 5k in June 2020. I was huffing & puffing & did quite a bit of swearing along the way. I walked/ran around a field as I was too self conscious to run in public spaces.

I actually completed couch to 5k. I have continued with running.....

I now run around town. Minimum five days a week. I always have a rest day.

I have been mixing things up a bit lately....

Long slow run & short quicker than slow run

My long run on Saturday was 9.76 mile. At a steady 5mph.

My personal best mile today was 10minutes & and 2seconds

Might not be good in comparison to others but I am super proud of myself.

I run in my own little bubble & don’t try to keep up with other peoples numbers etc.

Would like to thank couch to 5k for transforming my health & fitness ❤️❤️

Wow I’m almost done and wondering what to do. Your post gives me such inspiration

That’s great but I don’t think you should be running that often. 4 times max. You’ll be doing too many consecutive days and could risk injury. But well done on your progress. Isn’t running amazing? Keeps me sane 🤣👍🏽

Thank you. So run every other day maybe? X

That is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope I can do as well as you when I finish the programme.

I try to fall out of bed & straight into my running clothes. Working so far. Had a few non run days due to weather & that led me to eating badly for the day. Back on it the next day. Running/jogging, (not sure if I qualify as a runner 🏃‍♀️) has really improved my health & well being. It is so satisfying knowing I am doing something to improve myself.

I try to focus on the road ahead & the feeling of doing a run & not worry about what people think when they see me.

Onwards & upwards. Everyone can do this x
