Inspiration (in case you need some)

When my wife encouraged me to take up C25K in Lockdown 2020 I was sceptical for three reasons: -

1. I’d not taken part in any sporting activity for about 30 years

2. I’d not really shown empathy to runners as I drove past them in comfort

3. I thought I would fail

And yet today I completed my 500th 5k plus. So, if you are having doubts, stop now. You can do this programme, regardless of your ability.

Believe in yourself and just run, however you want to. And soon you’ll be a Graduate and you will not look back.

Keep running, wherever you run 😊
