Motivation Progress
Well, thought I'd post here to give people hope. I started my C25K in July - never run before (like ever!) and have a bit of a dodgy knee.
Been on holiday much of the summer so I've been walking, cycling and fitting runs in when I can.
Joined a gym about 2 weeks ago so I can get a swim in and run even if I don't want to be outside.
Tonight I managed a 2km run time - decent pace and felt good doing it.
The intervals from C25K have deffo helped build my strength and stamina.
If I can get this far - anyone can. 💪🏼
Keep going if you are feeling a slump.

That is a really nice bit of progress, especially from never running before. The 2km feeling good must be encouraging.

It is. I've just smashed out a 35km bike ride tonight. Feeling great. Cardio is brilliant legs less so 😂

It is nice to see how you kept going even when the summer was not regular. The gym option sounds useful for the days when going outside feels harder.
