Week 9 run 3 - DONE!

Last run of the programme completed this afternoon, in bright sunshine. I'm particularly pleased that I've managed to finish as I originally started the C25K back in May but had to stop as I had injured my back. It would be over 8 weeks before I could begin to run again, starting over at Week 1. I'm not a fan of going back to anything but it turned out to be the right thing to do.

Great programme & fab support from this site. Hot bath with some Epsom salts added for my achey knees & muscles coming up.

Thank you!

Thank you for your encouragement & wise support. I intend to carry on running, even though I hate the wet & cold - yeah, proper whinger! Thanks again.

Really well done! Especially with the long injury related break and that you had to start over again. Super! :-)

Well done Midwife84 give yourself a pat on the back 👏👏 and celebrate your success. I completed last week and am doing the consolidation runs now. I found a local run club that looks after new runners so will be joining them in a 2 weeks time. Keep running it is a great way to stay fit 🏃🏻‍♀️
