It is getting warmer, I look like a lobster at the end. I must start earlier now. I finished run 3 so chuffed with myself. I set it up on my phone and it told me I had done it 10 times before and I only finished C25K once!

Thank you all for supportive messages, it does make a difference.

It’s airbrushing I don’t know how they do it . I reckon they only run when we wheezing heaps see them, then they call up the full makeup crew to sort them out.

I’m instantly suspicious of a runner who looks fresh as a daisy

Well done you, I've just run W4 R1 on my third rerun of C25K, feel like I would like to carry a fan around with me!

Yay, well done. I don’t think it matters how many times you repeat a run. The real celebration is continuing to be out there.

I’m so glad you are still running and still posting.. it’s encouraging to me at least, but I’m sure to many others, to keep trying.. I have also completed the program only once, but started it again.. no idea how many times.. at least I know now that week one is less difficult than it was the first time - in lockdown 2020..

Thanks I signed up for Race for Life in June to make me keep going. I need all the motivation I can get, it must be doing me good!!! The hardest thing is still getting out of the door.
