W3R2….finally.

I’m a life-long running refusenik, despite the fact my husband and son are both devoted long term runners. But I’ve got to age 59 and decided to set myself that challenge of completing a Park Run by the end of 2023. Steve Cram is encouraging me. Just done W3R2 and have amazed myself by running for 3 minutes so I thought I’d share 😀.

that’s brilliant. Congratulations! I was a refusenik too but four years later I’m still running, not fast or far, but still out there!

🍏We are all so pleased for you. There are Refuseniks reading this forum who are contemplating, & you will have encouraged them to give it a go so you are already a blessing to us! Well done! 👏

Another (even older) Refusenik here! I graduated nearly two years ago now, and C25K was a gateway to fundamental changes in my life. In fact, tonight I'm playing in the Ladies squash team against a visiting team: we'll have lots of fun among new friends and I still pinch myself every morning. So stick at it and never ever doubt yourself - the world is your oyster!

Keeping the motivation is the hardest thing for me. Good luck.
