September 13, 201610 yr When I quit smoking in 2014 I would have never thought that I could run for a minute nevermind 60 mins! To be honest when I started the 5k program I couldn't run for a minute, well, no that's not quite right. I did run for 8 mins in 1 minute intro's, but it killed me. I was so unfit! Anyway, I have finished the 5k program. I have managed to run 5k in sub 30 minutes. So my next target will be 10k. I am still pinching myself that I'm doing this, and that you can change your fitness that quickly. So far my furthest run is 7.5k in 51.5 minutes it may not be the quickest but I keep looking at my app. I have run 33k this month, since the first of September. 14.5 was run this week and all this been done in 4 1/2 months. The reason for this post is to hopefully show people that you can change your life for the better, quitting smoking can just be the start. Go on give it ago! What do you have to lose.

September 14, 201610 yr Author Thank you guys, sorry I don't post some much anymore. This is taking over my free time now. But I do still read and look in from afar. You guy are all awesome by the way ;)
September 27, 201610 yr Did my first official 10k yesterday. 61 min. And I didn't even really have time to train. Things are just easier as a non smoker.
