I have completed a week 1 run up them there hills without stopping (my 5th attempt). Even Morrissey popping up on shuffle didnโ€™t deter me. Well chuffed ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Great job surviving Morrissey ๐Ÿคฃ

That run remains the hardest one Iโ€™ve ever done... and youโ€™ve finished it in the hills (I avoided the hills like the plague)

Very well done... youโ€™re right to be so chuffed. Enjoy week 2

Thank you. I love The Smiths but theyโ€™re not the best running motivators. Gunna start Week 2 on Saturday. Eek.

Could be worse... Iโ€™m into thrash and death metal, try running slowly to that ๐Ÿคฃ. The key to week 2 for me was simply to count down the runs... 5 feels so much better than 8. Keep that pace down and youโ€™ll be fine with each run being a little longer.

Itโ€™s taken me 5 runs instead of 3 to complete week 1 but I am so unreasonably proud of myself ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Well done for getting though week 1, even though you had Morrissey come up ๐ŸŽถ ๐Ÿคฃ

Seriously though, keep up the great work ... slow and steady is the way to go.

Thank you. I definitely took the advice given on here and really slowed it down this time and it worked a treat. Canโ€™t wait for week 2 ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm picturing Morrissey throwing flowers down at your feet cheering you on as he seronades you over the cobbles ๐Ÿ˜ if you can run through that you're gonna smash c25k for definite!!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅณ

Yes huge Smiths fan but only bought Morrisseyโ€™s first album. Beastie Boys helped me today ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Excellent. I love Eminem but not when Iโ€™m running - he makes me run too fast and I get out of puff.
