I’m overwhelmed.

[Baggieboy61]

Morning all.

Having completed my C25K challenge yesterday I wanted to say that I AM absolutely overwhelmed with the support and encouragement that I have had during this journey. I truly feel part of a family. I had a few tricky moments and you pulled me through. I have more confidence now and I am looking forward to new challenges that lay ahead. I am proud and honoured to know you all and I fully intend to stick around and support others who are on this journey. Thank you once again. Xx

Congratulations to you Baggieboys61 on completing C25K, you should be very proud yourself, we all like to encourage each other and new runners on this forum ✅🏃🏃, before those new challenges run about 4/30 minute consolidation runs, onwards and upwards ✅🏃

What wonderful news. Congratulations on completing in this cold time of year. Real dedication and perseverance.

Keep us posted on what's next...

Will do. Yes it was tough at times. It’s as much about mental strength as it is physical. I was determined not to take any breaks. Worked out well in the end.

[Baggieboy61 Graduate in reply to Nanalindato5]

Thanks. Ooh you’re creeping closer. I preferred the longer runs. Got into a nice rhythm.

It's awesome, isn't it? I've been ill and haven't followed all of your journey, but when I did C25K last year I found exactly the same. You'll notice too as you consolidate that the support is the same. I also received lots of help over post C25K humps and bumps - and despite being a relatively junior 62yo, that support still means a great deal ...😄

Keep it up!
