I was really worried by this run, seemed so much of an increase from wk 3. But ta da, I did the first one and really ok. So pleased with my progress. I started couch to 5 k some 3 yrs ago, got to week 9 but various health problems meant I couldn’t continue at that time. But I’m fitter, lighter and stronger, love the time to myself and find the couch to 5k a massive stress buster. I’ve got this.

Such a great post. You absolutely do “got this” (excuse the grammar!). Those scary runs that we manage anyway show us we’re so much tougher than we think we are. Can’t wait for updates-you’ve got so much to celebrate ahead!
