Hello all, pleased to report that I completed my first 5k today, in the pouring rain, was amazing, I kept a steady pace and even managed to sprint for the last 100m, I have my medal and could cry with the sense of achievement.
For anyone following the plan I only started the couch25k plan 5 weeks ago but have ran every other day hence had finished week 6 on Friday (25 mins) I ran the whole way even though I thought I would have to walk part of it.......................... five weeks ago I could not run more than 60 seconds, was shocked at how hard running is and could not believe how unfit I was, I have followed the NHS plan to the letter, followed a low fat diet and have done some type of cardiovascular exercise on an almost daily basis even though I am still nearly 2 stone overweight ..........................if I can do it anyone can, don't give up and trust in your plan x
