I recently had a somewhat disturbing conversation with an NHS physio who laughed at me when I said I was planning to start C25K in January, and then run/jog a 3K in the Race for Life next June.

I fully expect that the c25K will be extended by quite a lot to get me ready for a 3k. Am I being unreasonable? Has anyone else done this?
I look forward to your replies
