Thanks to everyone in this forum who share their stories. Reading them over the past 3 months has kept me on track when I have been frustrated over my progress, breathing, speed and tingling toes just to mention a few of the problem's I have encountered as a new runner.
I fallen in love with my new routine. By doing the c25k program every 2nd day over the past 3 months i've completed the program, ran in a 5km fun run (although walked some of it), and am now working towards completing a 5km run without stopping.
I'm now enjoying the freedom of mixing up my run times and music with something other than the program, however once a week I pick one of 'laura's runs' to do which I enjoy. It's like returning home after a holiday - very comforting! What a great family this program has created.
Well done.

Hi Kerryjoy. I feel exactly the same - although I have only today finished week 6 so I have still got a fair way to go, I am feeling super confident about completing the challenge and I know for CERTAIN that I would never have found it so (easy??!!) and enjoyable without this community. It has been an enormous source of information and support. Thanks and congratulations to all fellow C25Kers!
Yes this community certain helped me get through my toughest run, W8R1, without it I think I would have stopped the run, but I just kept thinking of reporting back how I'd got on.
I'm also working on completing the 5K now - good luck to you!
Ditto - most of us would give up without the comfort of knowing everyone else is feeling the same mixture of pleasure, pain, self doubt but then total pride when it all finally comes together!
