Got loads of good advice from the posts on what to do after C25K Graduation.

Thanks to all who posted congratulations to me on C25K. Especially those who said I look younger , You old smoothies ! Or as some say to me "Smooth as a bucket of tripe".

A good dose of flattery never hurt anyone ! Who doesn't like having their ego stroked !

I was planning to run to work and back 3K but have thought better of it and put that on hold. Thinking about traffic , and other possible hazards , kerbs etc. or injury.

Did 30 minute run around lake today, Getting bit faster and easier.

I still can manage to fit in half to 3/4 of an hour 3 days per week so will work on gradually increasing distance / speed. I don't have a target for this. My main aim after all was to be healthy weight and avoid a future on any medication. Will put extra time into cycling which I also enjoy .May not post much in future but may seek advice if fall off wagon !!

Thanks all for your advice and support.

Sit down with a calendar - and figure out which days you CAN run, taking all other aspects of life into account. 3 days @ 45-60 minutes is fine for general fitness. - 6 days @ 30 minutes would probably be better! :) Anyhow, IF you are able to specify 3 days that you should be able to run - then make these days HOLY days!!!! This should stop you from falling off the wagon!!! :)
