This morning I graduated again. My running habit hasn’t really become a habit so I’ve ended up revisiting various weeks over the years.
However I’ve kept going and my view is that doing something is far better than doing nothing. I don’t worry about speed / time / distance, my goal is just to keep exercising ( with motivation from Sarah Millican!) and to make it more of a habit. I’ve started off well this year, running twice a week and have kept it up. The most important thing for me is not to get injured so whilst pushing myself if I feel up to it, I don’t push too hard.
So… keep running everyone and don’t beat yourselves up, just enjoy it and keep on doing it!

Excellent Shuffledaway, congratulations on graduating from C25K for the 9th time, I think you have set a new record on the number of times a graduate of C25K have graduated, there have been a few who have reran the course 3 or 4 times but not 9 times, I certainly agree with you that no one should beat themselves up and not get injured, onwards and upwards 🏃🏾 👍 ✔️✔️
Well done Shuffledaway …that’s exactly right, anything is better than nothing…you are in good company revisiting C25k and picking a run here and there, I’ve done that over the years too & I know many people do…so keep on keeping on…you’re doing well
Congratulations to you! I hope you’re celebrating. Nine times is a new record I’m sure!
Have you thought about coming across to Bridge to 10k? You don’t have to be working towards 10k unless you want to! Perhaps setting yourself some personal goals could help with keeping up with the running? It could be as simple as running three times a week. We’ve got a new quest today hosted by the lovely Annieapple where you choose your own targets and there’s lots of support to stay on track. Here’s a link just in case, but feel free to ignore if it’s not for you…
Yes, people are so hard on themselves, I find. I’ve learnt to just take pleasure in what I’ve been able to do. It’s good to push yourself but if you fail, don’t be hard on yourself, there’s always tomorrow. The important thing is to keep going! Best of luck!x
