Every child from year six at St Leonard's Primary School in Padiham finished the Couch to 5k challenge.

A mobile app, which contains training plans that gradually progress toward a 3.1 mile run over nine weeks, every child in year six finished the challenge with times ranging from 24 to 28 minutes.

And considering that a few of the children struggled to run for a minute in the first week, everyone agreed it was an amazing achievement they should be proud of.
