After nearly 2years I finally did it..finished Ct5k....πŸ‘....Why has it taken sooo long. ?.

Achillies injury (16 months rehab.)

Covid.

7 chest infections (many steroids &antibiotics)

2 day stay in hospital with pneumonia.

and one cracked rib......πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

So if any fellow Ct5k friends out there who are struggling a bit...

It can be done.πŸ‘.

Take it slowly, go back weeks when you get a setback...extra rest days between runs.

Thanks to Jo Wiley fir encouraging me.

Thanks to all on this brilliant forum for advice..

Most of all thanks to my knees for not letting me down..especially the left one that was replaced 4 years ago...πŸ§‘β€πŸ¦―

Think a celebration drink this evening πŸ₯ƒ

Happy running all..πŸ‘‹

Well done! That's a great achievement considering your recent health troubles.

I also listen to the dulcet tones of Jo Whiley to help motivate me!
