*Occasional Choice Language!*

Sharon Howell is one of our most inspiring runners.  She started with C25K and it was NOT easy.  

She kept going, through some fairly tough injuries - knees, hips etc.  

She kept going, battling mental demons that told her she couldn't do it.

She kept going, battling weight and losing 3 stone.

She really does just keep going, and this bonus episode is her story.  We just ask a couple of questions and it all comes tumbling out. 

Do take a listen.  You don't even have to be running to listen. 

*Occasional Choice Language!*

Literally, the last input session.  It's just us jabbering, and if you're still here by now, you must like that quite a lot!  So listen to us telling you about our senior moments!

*Occasional Choice Language!*

You really are now at the stage where you can do this, and you're going to nail your 30 minutes exercise in the next couple of sessions!  Well done. 

So, it's fair to say that in this episode, we're mostly just jabbering, but taking you through how to eat as you start to run further.  

*Occasional Choice Language!*

In this episode, we talk about all sorts of stuff, but it's under the umbrella of how do you transition to your next set of goals in running.

You might want to go further, you might want to go faster, you might want to cross train, you might just want to keep doing 5k.  Whatever you choose, working through what you need to do to achieve it mindfully is a massive part of your planning success.  Take a listen.  See what you take away.

You are 80% of the way through, and today, you will be running for  straight 20 minutes.

Andy's going to talk to you about managing your pace, making sure you keep going and get to the end of this milestone session.

*Occasional Choice Language!*

In this session, we talk about really being mindful about what you've learnt and what you've acheived.  Mindfulness leads to a real awareness of what you are ACTUALLY doing; it makes you think about how you feel, what works well, what you want to do again.  

As runners, our activity is kind of how we find our peace, so it stands to reason that we should take a moment to be reflective and thankful about what it gives us!

WE HAVE A GUEST!  

We welcome Mark White, children's author and a huge advocate of mindful running. Mark is the founder of Give Your Town The Runaround, YourTown, The Grateful Mile Initiative, and now, MEUS - an absolute revelation in (mainly) Men's Health and Mindfulness.

Mark talks about how he found his love for running through a chance conversation with a coach and how that then fed his passion to bring running to more and more people.  He's now a global concern - take a listen and see what you think.

You've got all you need to succeed now, so the role Andy and I play in getting you to the end game is changing.  Today, we're just chatting to you about how on earth two old duffers came to be coaching C25k, and how that went digital!  And of course, we're encouraging you along the way!
