I started C25K to address increasing anxiety and stress, and weight issues, but took me 2 years, after initially downloading the app to actually start it. It was the best decision I made. When I graduated 3 years ago, I said to myself, I'd love to complete the London Marathon one day, before I'm 60 (which was waaay above my station at time!). This year however, the universe smiled on me and I was fortunate enough to be able to run the London Marathon for Parkinson's UK, at 57. What an experience! One I shall never forget! Along the way, I remembered how, why and where my running journey began... Right here, in this forum! Thank you C25K, and to all you courageous and inspiring folk who gave me the encouragement and support to keep going from the beginning, through to Week 9, and beyond. I encourage everyone and anyone I speak to now to get on the C25K programme, it's life changing. Good luck to all of you, it will be the best decision you ever made too.
