Millennium Way Ultra Marathon ✅

Yesterday marked two seminal moments in a running career than began on 26th February 2019 when started Couch to 5K.

I had trained to 22 miles of a 42.8 mile ultra marathon and decided that I wanted to complete my first marathon on my way to completing my first ultra.

Yesterday was hard, I laughed, cried and everything in between but one thing I didn’t do was give up.

Hopefully my story will encourage anyone thinking of starting C25K to see that anything is possible! Do it, you may just surprise yourself, I know I did!

Woohoo! Amazing progress and achievement!!! Congratulations 👏👏👏. I too laughed at the 'harder than your usual effort' 🤣. At least you didn't get 'congratulations, this completed your March 5k' 😍
