Buzzing!!

[Brixcos]

OMG OMG! I've just completed W5R2 - two 8 min runs. I am absolutely buzzing!!

This time last year, I was still recovering from a double heart bypass after having had a completely unexpected heart attack in Dec 20. And now I'm running and, more importantly, enjoying it!

I did have a small emotional moment at the end of the first 8 min run, thinking about how far I've come. Goodness knows what I'll be like on Friday when I complete 20 mins run non stop (which I now know is completely possible!)

This programme is awesome. Bring it on!

Huge congratulations. You’re doing brilliantly. Looking forward to reading the post where you tell us you’ve done run 3 of the week. You’ve got this. Great job 👏

HUGE well done to you! You have done brilliantly! On you go, slow and steady and just relax into the next runs and let those newly formed running legs do their own thing!

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks Oldfloss. I now know I can run, which is a huge thing for me! And I totally trust the programme...!

It works... that is the best thing

What a journey! Your story is an inspiration x 😊

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to Indicat]

Thanks Indicat. I really was quite emotional after my run, it's been quite a journey. I've always been fairly fit but the C25K has taken my fitness to the next level. Roll on Friday!!

You're doing very well. Love the excitement and joy in posts like this. Glad you're enjoying it, take next one nice and steady and you'll smash it.

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to BrokeyNotSoBusted]

Thank you! I'm a slow jogger so there's really only one speed at the moment- which I'm totally comfortable with!

Great progress there Brixcos and grest post too. Your enthusiasm really leaps off the page!

I remember a great feeling of satisfaction for running 800m after having a stent fitted. It's interesting to see where we get to on this running journey!

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to SkiMonday]

Absolutely! Wgat for some might be the end of the road is only the beginning for others!

Well done!! You are amazing. Emotional for sure... what a brilliant post. 👌

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to MrsLydiaWickham]

Thank you ! There will be more emotional posts in due course!

Well done! I'm seriously impressed and inspired. I didn't get out as planned yesterday so W5R2 is today - if you can do it, I have no excuses.

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to Liono]

That's the spirit! How did it go 🤔

[Liono Graduate in reply to Brixcos]

It was good thanks! Managed it even though the 2nd 8 mins was uphill. I might have to rethink my usually run timing though - it's getting a bit hot to run at 2pm before the school run 🥵
