I started C25K to help with sciatica which I’d never had before. Am 50, never been running before and at week 5 the sciatica went and I carried on and finished the plan today. Am chuffed on many levels and this forum has been a great help 😁

Congratulations. I know how proud you must feel. I too am no spring chicken & have back pain but found that running helps so much. I completed 5k in January but tested positive for Covid shortly after which put me out of action for a month & basically had to start again. Then I injured my knee which put me out for another month but now I'm back out every 2/3 days for a 20-30 minute run. Enjoy this new lease of life you have. Stick with it but don't over do it. We'll done!!!

Thank you and thanks to all. There is no doubt that running helps in so many ways. I didn’t think I could do it but this plan really works….and this forum is so encouraging 🏃🏼‍♀️😁
