Started this again today (have completed it a few times over the years!). Anyone else beginning it so we can cheer each other on?

Finished week 4 run 3, dreading week 5 as it’s longer run and not sure how I will cope.

I went out at 7 on Wednesday and did 30 minutes. I think it might be too hot for me do do more than walk at Parkrun on Saturday.

I’ve just finished week 4 too 💪. So slow that it’s embarrassing trying to overtake dog walkers!

But never mind, onwards and upwards. It was such a beautiful morning. It’s lovely being out in nature.

Thank you for the welcome and encouragement @SoftIce , it’s good to hear from people who have completed the programme and still going strong!

I also completed week 4, and was not looking forward to week 5 at all! @ProfessorLayton1 and @upandoutofbed .
But have just finished run 1 of week 5, and it was easier than I thought , although also very slow- but isnt zone 2 runnng supposed to be good for you??
I did a few just 5 min runs to practise last week- maybe that helped.
Park run was also on, so it was encouraging to see the range of runners.
Thanks for the encouragment @SoftIce.

Its a great way to start the weekend- feel I can enjoy my lunch out now, without guilt!
Enjoy your day's!

Week 8 run 1 done! Went out at 8am & it was already warm but I managed 3.2km / 2 miles in the 28 minutes & it felt fab!

Hello! I hope you don't mind me posting. I did my first run on C25K with Sarah Millican.

Wasn't as bad as I anticipated to be fair. Planning to go back out on Tuesday and Thursday. Hoping make that consistent until it's finished.
