    Congratulations to you both. I still tell anyone who asks that doing the C25K program to its completion is the best thing I ever did.

    Hey everyone. Never really checked in here when I finished the program. I did a 5k at the end of week 8 back in mid March, did another one in mid-May and yet another this past Sunday. I've knocked almost a minute off of each time (38, 37, 35:49 exact times in my profile)

    Next race is the end of June so I am locking down my diet and training for the next month so see how big a leap I can make for this race.

    Good luck to everyone who is close or who is just starting, it's worth the effort!

    Finished this morning with my 5K in 31 minutes. First 5K race on the 23rd June, really looking forward to it too! Now I'm moving onto the bridge to 10K. I never thought I could do 5K and never in my wildest dreams did I think the 10K would ever be an option but its onwards and upwards!

    There. I started nine weeks ago, and spent the whole of the w1d1 workout wanting to die. Today I ran for 30 minutes and cleared well over 5k. So that's that done. Yay me.

    Wow! You ran under a 10 minute mile? That's phenomenal! Way to go!

    Yep! Helps to have long legs, I guess :)

    Started C25k on 22nd April and graduated today. Had to take two weeks off due to Hip Bursitis but as soon as I was ready I got right back into it again. Finished a week ahead of the original schedule and today's average pace was 11.30 minute/mile. My first goal is to complete the 5k, run a parkrun then start training for a 10k in November. Plenty of time right?!

    I graduated!

    I can now run 30 minutes without stopping!

    Too bad it's so slowly that it's only about 2 miles. I have signed up for a 5K in less than 3 weeks (July 20), so I'll be spending the next three weeks extending my time and distance so that hopefully I don't let myself down on the big day.
