I'm sure you've run at least once before ...

As for slow... keep it like that. There is no need to go any quicker. The program is TIME based, not distance, despite the title.

Enjoy your journey!

Well done on your first run. I find running is a great mood booster, especially in winter. Stick with the programme it really works👍

Well done, getting out the door for that first run is the biggest step in my experience. You won’t regret it!

I started C25k when I was 64!! Just retired and looking for something to do during lockdown. Like you never been a runner, but I followed the programme and graduated I can honestly say I feel fitter than I ever have. Good luck on the journey.

That's brilliant and very encouraging to me, run 2 today and I'm quite looking forward to it

[Kjb04 Graduate]
