C25K W1R1!! After 9 months of Long Covid I finally managed to restart C25K. Slow, but last km was fastest and uphill so really pleased. Had to fudge it a bit so I finished running bits before steep hill but it meant I had a lovely leisurely walk home at the end. 3 months ago if I walked to end of my road and back (about 400m) I had to stop and get my breath back before climbing the 3 steps into my bungalow.
