After two attempts I have finally completed Cto5K. I am so proud of myself. Not only has it helped my physical health but also my mental health.For anyone out there who is struggling, please don't give up. If a 66 year old granny can do it then you can too.

Wow! Well done you! I'm just starting out on week 3 and thinking I'm a bit old for this lark at 61, so you're an inspiration to me.

You definitely are not. You can do it. If you have a bad day don't dwell on it and don't give up.
