I started running with the C25k last year in May and am now on the eve of my first big run- yikes! I'm a bit nervous as I've had a bit of a chest cold thing so haven't been able to train properly over the past 2 weeks. Before that, was doing really well- did 8miles 3 weeks ago in 1hr40 which was great.
Is anyone else running it? any advice?!?
Hoping that I sleep okay tonight

She runs she runs, good luck with your run tomorrow. You've come such a long way, practically a veteran in c25k land/terms. All the best, will be great to hear your good running news after you've crossed the finish line, wow!!!!! Go jen go
Good luck! I have a friend doing the Reading Half, who also has had a bad cold funnily enough. Look out for the Latin Link Runners. And most of all ENJOY
Well- I managed it! It was really hard work- think that I really suffered from the break in training from the chest infection/cold. I started feeling it at 2 miles!(It was uphill to be fair) That's when I really started to worry. I started crying at mile 10- it really hurt! I ran walked it so completed it In about 3 hours but am yet to see my offical time. Just putting my feet up at the mo- hope they're not too bad tomorrow.
I ran with my other half which was really nice- we're getting married next month so seemed like a great challenge to do together.
I think my next challenge is to run a 5k in under 30mins- still never actually managed it. Might sign myself up for a 5k race later in the year to keep me motivated
Also- thanks to everyone who sponsored me- I ran in aid of mind
Congratulations on all fronts, i.e the running and the wedding. Well done on your run, bet your made up about your achievement, well done and enjoy a bit of rest . Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
