It’s been 4 years since I first completed C25K and since then I’ve had an on off relationship with running. I almost completed bridge to 10K and during the pandemic repeated C25K again.
But this year I’ve been reminded of just how good running is for your mental health. Having recently separated from my partner of 15 years and facing a milestone birthday my head was not in a good place. Somehow I managed to find the energy to lace up my trainers head out the door and run round the block.
That was a month ago and today I completed my second 5K in a week. The endorphins were flowing and that feeling of a runners high is the ultimate natural antidepressant! #outrunthedark

Well done Spannerz20 ! Finding the strength to do something positive for yourself, just lacing up and getting out is a fantastic start. Keep it going 👍
