After having a scroll through the HU site, I have discovered this forum, I am a member of several forums within the site and am pleased I have come across this group.

A little bit about myself , in 2020 I completed the C25K programme during lock down and continued to run up to 4 miles twice a week on my own. In 2022 I joined my local running club ( feeling like a fraud!) and gradually increasing my distance and the amount of times i ran a week.

I have run several 10k's and in June this year completed my first half marathon, it was hot, hard and slow, but I ran it and I was very proud of myself, fast forward to the beginning of October 2023 and I completed the Chester Metric Marathon . I am so proud of how far my running has come on and I am keen to run ore half marathons next year and will take part in the Chester Metric Marathon again next year.

My next race is a 10km in December

Perfect! I also ( along with many others!) did c25k during lock down and have continued to plod on. I have found this forum to be very friendly and informative. I hope you do too!

similar story here. Did C25K in the 2020 lockdown and progressed upto HM. Now trying to get upto FM distance.

Sounds like you’re in a similar part of the world to me, hope to bump into you at a run somewhere.

Welcome siggie! You’ve stumbled upon the best forum ever. It’s the friendliest, most supportive place and full of good advice.

You’ve done amazingly only having started running during lockdown. A metric marathon is something I’ve never done. 👏👏

Good luck going forward, and be sure to tell us all about your next race! 😀
