Absolutely fantastic! Keep celebrating those successes-no win is every too small. You’ll have so many encouragements along the way. I used to have a little treat at the end of every week I completed. Just some silly kids’ sweet thing that somehow became traditional. I made my husband bring me one when I finished my first half marathon last year. That’s all down to couch to 5k.

Enjoy the programme. It sounds like you’ve run before but I’ll flag up the programme guide just in case it’s got hints and tips you might not have thought about.

We have lots of returners here so if that’s you, you’re in good company! Can’t wait to see how you get on. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thankyou so much for the encouragement and for celebrating with me. I'm super motivated and I appreciate you sharing the link above.

I like the celebratory treat tip. I am definitely stealing that one😁
