I started this fantastic programme 6 weeks ago in Spain
In the hot summer. I am sixty and wondered if I could do c25K and guess what I think I can!! This morning I ran for 25 minutes for the first time and fortunately it was a bit cloudy but still lovely and warm. I am really chuffed and want to encourage anyone to do this programme or if you are wondering about giving up - don't. My only worry is whether I can run in the cold UK when I come back in October. Not sure if anyone reading this is my age but if you are I am glad I am not the only OAP.

I just wanted to say that you are absolutely amazing! Good luck running in the cooler weather, I'm sure you'll do fine.

Thank you. I will remember what you said on my next 25 minute run due on Thursday. No one has ever called me amazing It will help so much.

Programme going well. On week 7 run 2. Much hotter today so was slower. Feel so much better and feeling pretty chuffed still. Keep on running. Determined to get on graduate forum in a few weeks.

That is SO awesome! You are an inspiration!

That's it. I have done it. Last 30 minute run today on the C25K programme. . Can't thank you enough you clever chaps!!!what to do now? Well I intend to carry on, build a faster time and tun for longer. My goal is to do 'Run to the Beat' next year running for leukaemia research. Whatch this space. A million thank you's.

Very well done! Thanks for the appreciation, but you've done the hard work!

Happy Running,
