Did my first 5k today (in 10 years!!)!! Although when wwe mapped it found out we actually did 6k so even better! We celebrated by then doing a Zumba class....and survived!!! So pleased!!!! Feel like i am finally getting somewhere!

Thats great, you will get there really soon! I started doing C25K but found it a bit slow going for me! I am probably doing it all the wrong way now though!

Congrats! I don't know that there's a "right" way to run as long as you aren't injuring yourself. Just get out there and do it and have fun!

Now i`ve manage 3 x 5k`s in the last 4 days...Think i`m gonna have to set the bar a little higher and go for a 8k run...How much harder can it be?

Nice!

I am currently on week 7 day 2 of C25K and was able to do a 5K on week 6. SO far I've been able to got over 6 minutes off of my time.

It seemed like so much to do a little over a month or so ago but now it has me thinking 10K

congrats on building the mileage..that is fantastic work. if you keep building your mileage at this rate, skip 8k, and go for 10k :-)
