From struggling to run 1.5 minutes to running 5k. I can't believe it. Completed the programme and did my 5 k on 5March in 40 minutes. Delighted my son joined in my week 2 and also finished. We have since joined the local running club and done another 5 k last Saturday too. Thanks for all the support here. I'm well into my 50s and previously so lazy I cannot compute this success. Everyone has been so helpful and encouraging at my local running club and parkrun.

Well done!

You've reach the end of your beginning :-)

Consolidation time now for a few weeks and the perfect moment to think about where you want to go with your running.

Enjoy!
