Hey all, i'm Danielle and i'm on this crazy Cto5K journey too. I finished week 4 run 1 yday and i'll be doing my next run tomorrow.

Stepping it up from a 9 to 16 minute run was a shock to the system to say the least 😁🥵

I've been getting a bit of backache whilst running too!

Any tips are most welcome and would love to hear how you guys have been doing 😊

Danielle 🏃🏾‍♀️

Well done!!! Isn’t it such a huge thrill when you complete each week?? Amazing achievement!!!

Not sure about the back ache but am sure lots of experienced people on here will soon give their advice.

Absolutely!!! It’s all a bit unreal …as I’ve said before on here my husband is convinced I’ve been kidnapped by aliens and replaced!! …you…running…in the rain…and the snow….running shoes…what the hell 😂😂😂 he came out with me after a few runs because I’m sure he didn’t believe I was doing it !! It’s a mad thing that becomes amazingly addictive!! Look forward to encouraging each other!!!
