Gok Wan impresses fans with 'runners body' after documenting fitness journey on Instagram

Gok Wan has impressed fans with his latest selfie as he continues his fitness journey.

The fashion expert and presenter has been documenting his lockdown health improvements as he took up 'Couch to 5K'.

Gok, 46, has been sharing his progress with his Instagram followers and recently celebrated reaching the end of the popular running programme.

He shared late last week: "After 10 hard weeks (1 week off for shin splints) I have finally finished the @couch_2_5k !!! I cannot believe I have just run 5k in just over 36mins. I honestly didn’t think I would do this!

"Thank you so much to my 'couch to 5 cafes' running crew for keeping me motivated, thank you to all of you for spurring me on and thank you to @kerryburchy for suggesting I send a message to Josh on @thismorning - GET IN!"

He added: "I run now, did you know?"

And Gok kept hitting the milestones as he went out and about over the weekend.

"Didn't manage the 6k but did shave 1 min off of my mins per km and 4 mins off of my overall running time to get 5k in the bag," he posted over the weekend. "...so chuffed!"

But fans have been quick to praise the star for his efforts after posting a new mirror selfie.

Alongside the snap he wrote: "Love me a sloppy Sunday outfit..." as he rocked a black jumper and baggy denim jeans.

And followers flooded the comments section.

"Look at that FIT runner," wrote one.

Another said: " You have a runners body now."

"Looking gorgeous," a third added.

A fourth added: "Wow, you're looking good."

"You are looking very fit with your running every day. Perfect timing for the end of lockdown. Well bloody done," another praised.
