FollowWay back in April I started my traditional annual running programme. It’s called Couch to 5k, and it builds you up from running for just a minute, to a full half-hour. It’s supposed to take 9 weeks, but a combination of travelling and heatwaves in Switzerland and the UK meant it took me about 12. It doesn’t really matter. Anyhow, I finished the programme today, and was rewarded with my virtual medal from the app which has been coaching me along since I started.
So apparently I am amazing. That’s the eighth time I’ve done Couch to 5k, and while it doesn’t get any easier as I get older, having confidence in the programme certainly helps.
