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!
