This is brilliant! I am super proud of you for doing this, let alone anything else! How did you find doing the C25K? Tough going or about right? Been meaning to do it for years, but never have. I'm not a runner. Do love spinning classses though and desperately miss them!

Seriously well done, so proud of you! 🤗💜😆 x

Hi thank you 😊

It was really tough especially at the beginning and some days are most definitely harder than others and I wasn’t the fittest of people, never run in my life. I started off on treadmill and doing turbo trainer and with all the support I have received and a lot of willpower it really helped me to push through it.

I am actually starting to enjoy it now 😃

You also have to remember it’s just a light jog its not actual running which I think scares a lot of people off its just a notch from walking pace just to get your heart rate up and you can pic up pace at a later time if you wish to, its not about how fast you can go, it’s about the how far you can go! Which at the start wasn’t far at all for me, I struggled running for 60 seconds 😂 but now look at me.

Also if you struggle one week it’s okay! just start over you don’t have to finish the week when it says so.

I actually did my first 5k run on week 7 run 2 of c25k and I didn’t always complete my other runs, i had to start over many times and still did afterwards.

If you’ve been thinking about it!

give it a go!

I believe you can do it! 😃

Ps. find support in others wether family or strangers, reach out! Tell others what you are trying to achieve, give yours goals.

This really helped me succeed 😊

Good Luck! x
