Week 9 run 3 😁 🏃‍♀️ completed

[Santa_1]

To say im so very very happy is an understatement. Im ecstatic ive completed the couch to 5k. Its been a fantastic journey of self discovery pushing myself that little bit harder a little bit more never giving up. At nearly 60 and an over weight female i never thought i could do this. Now im proud to say im a runner. Ive toned up lost weight and im feeling fantastic. To anyone starting out you can do this just dont over think about it and take one day at a time and if you need 2 or even 3 days rest in-between runs thats ok dont beat your self up. And most of all be proud of yourself everytime you put those shoes on and go out for a run. Good luck everyone 🍀

Hi! Congrats! In what week did you start loosing weight? Did you also combined with a healthier diet? I am starting week 3 and would like to loose around 8/10kg. Are you able to run the 5km in a go? Thanks

[Santa_1 Graduate in reply to Rocio1982]

Thank you. I decided to eat more healthy week 8 and witin the two weeks i lost weight, and this morning another pound. i have lost inches overall and toned up over the oast 9 weeks . Yes i can now run 5k in one go . My aim at the beginning was to improve my fitness levels and stamina then i looked at my food intake not forgetting water intake so important i now drink 2 and half to 3 liters of water/fluids a day. This has helped an awful lot. Keep at it good luck you can do it. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

I'm just about to do my final run of the programme, Week 9 Run 3, and I'm 64. Firstly, congratulations on what you've achieved, Santa 1, and secondly thanks for the encouraging message. I cant really say I enjoy running yet. It's still more like a chore but I'm hoping to join a park run once I've trained myself to do the full 5k on the treadmill. See you out there one day perhaps and I'll certainly be joining you with a large G&T if i finish nd toasting our lovely Queen at the same time!

[Santa_1 Graduate in reply to Never-too-old-run]

Too old to run thank you 😊 i wish you every success and i hope you get that amazing feeling of pride when you graduate 🎓 Be proud of yourself as you are the one that puts the running shoes on and makes the effort. Enjoy your G & T ......cheers
