so i have just done 5km .......

[superbagpuss]

for the first time in years, mixture of run/ walk and took 50 mins

I know I have to work on this but was looking for a little round of applause for actually doing it

and some encouragement please so I can work on being faster

[Meglet]

Well done! You will get a bit faster next time, and the next .

[trixymalixy]

Well done!! You will get faster, but who cares about times. The fact that you have just got out there and managed 5k is the important thing.

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

That's fab!

I got up to 5k last year but stopped through the winter storms and am struggling to get going again.

You'll gradually do less walking and your time will come down - keep at it!

[DeterminedMama]

Amazing well done! I'm currently building up my running too so love to hear other peoples success stories!

Well done

[5ofus]

[CMOTDibbler]

Well done

[dotty2]

That's great. So next time you can work on running for more time and walking for less - I'm sure you'll be surprised how quickly you improve.

[DotToDott]

well done! i just did it for the first time ever and it took me 48 minutes! i thought my legs were going to fall off but my running buddy assures me it will get better from here!

round of applause

[dwinnol]

????????????????????

[dwinnol]

Ahem, that didn't work.
Well done OP. ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!!
I can't run for a bus.

[Fairyneuf]

Well done!
I'm onto week three of couch to 5k and just signed up for Race for Life in July so I'm loving positive running stories.

[Lottapianos]

Fabulous! Well done you. Keep at it, it makes everything better

[PeachTrees]

well done op. I've started my running journey today as I'm 4 stone overweight and seriously unfit. I managed 2k in 25 mins

[dizzyday07]

Congratulations

I am doing the C25K programme too (just finished week 2) and have a 3k in 3 weeks and a 5k at the end of August.

[DotToDott]

i've finished c25k and am just working on getting my time down- doing race for life on May 18th but i'll be happy just to complete it without collapsing!

[BigRedApple]

Well done! I'm (re)starting C25K tomorrow. You've spurred me on

[pootlebug]

Well done! Keep at it and you'll be running most of the way in no time!
