Its taken me just over 3 months but today I completed Week 9 Run 3. As a very overweight, reformed smoker 60 years old who has never ran anywhere in my life I am amazed at how effective this programme is. I completed my first 5K run last saturday in 37mins (with one 1m walk in the middle) and I am definately doing more, just got to speed up a little. Over the moon frankly!
