Loving the well structured C25K programme - now on week 7 and finding it ok and challenging in equal measure - My trainer is Jo Whiley who is calm, encouraging, and keeps you feeling positive. I am looking forward to completing and continuing after week 9. Happy new running year everyone

Fantastic! Great to have you here. We absolutely love chatting about all things running so feel free to ask questions, share how you’re getting on and get ready for some cheering along from the friendliest forum I know!

There’s a brilliant little guide to the programme here with lots of helpful hints and tips.  Well worth a read.  Most important is keeping it slow and steady at a pace where you can talk in full sentences without gasping.  Most of us go too fast!

Jo Whiley was my coach and her calmness helped me keep it steady. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Good luck.
