I did it!!It was not as hard as I thought it would be. It’s all in the mind (and the breathing ha ha!)I’ve always believed I cannot run and will never run. I even used to google for possible conditions I might have which stop me from running. I have tried 2 other C25K apps and it didn’t happen. This one did it for me. Now I can add Running to my hobbies. The confidence I have built from week1 run1 is so immense and is permeating to other spheres of my life. I love coming to this community to get encouragement. Graduation watch out here I come!!!!

That sounds great! I’m on my 3rd 25 minute run and still struggling to find some of that motivation and strength to properly complete the full 25. Makes it feel more doable though that it’s working for others!

I find the first 5 minutes of my runs the hardest. I have conversations with myself and try to hype myself and chant “I can do it, I’m not repeating this run”. I’ve also found that skipping 2 days makes me brand new.

Thank you all so much. I should mention though that I only did 3km. That should tell you that I was competing in the snail and ant league but at this point I’m just glad to keep the momentum!! All the best to all of us
