Can't believe I've just run for 25 minutes without stopping! This is my second attempt at C25K. Last year I got to the first run of W6, then a niggling ankle pain got the better of me and I got out of the habit. But I was determined to get running again, this time doing dynamic warm ups and after run stretches! So far, injury-free and loving it! 😊
