I've tried C25k 4-5 times already. What would you do for the next shot?
TL;DR: I've got a bad balance but I want to run 5k. How can I make it to the end despite this?

Accessible colours don't exist
I often see claims about "accessible colours". Colours can play a huge role in accessibility. Colours also stand out for me when they're the cause of issues. They're very visible! (Or sometimes, it's actually the lack of visibility). But there is no such thing as an accessible colour.
Reusability determines value
The difference between a user base of 1 and more than 1 is vast.
