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

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

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.

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!

Xxx

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

Well done

Fab. Well done :)

Well done

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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