Just completed week 5 of Cto5k..Can't believe I've git this far and going so well.🤞...

I started the course a couple of years ago got to run 2 week 8 and suffered an achillies injury ,then after a scan diagnosed with tendenopathy, thought at my age running days were over..

18 months of rest and exercises and I'm out again 👏...plenty of strapping extra rest days and it's good so far..

I'm hoping to complete to complete before my 70th birthday next year....🤞👍

Congratulations to you Olliebear125 on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran 🏃🏾
