You've been running consistently for over a year!!
That's a great achievement... So be proud. I bet before u started C25K if someone said u would still be running u wouldn't believe em? 🤔 If some2had with me I wouldn't anyway.
U r doing what u want u want and thats good 👍 happy running
There’s no cop out there. Some run for marathons and beyond, some need 10ks and HMs, but we all run to stay fit and healthy, extending our life expectancy. Keep on running... and keep enjoying it, those are the main things. Oh... and stay proud of yourself, because you certainly should be.
Sounds good. I graduated less than a year ago. I'm still running three times a week and loving it. 5k is enough for me right now, so I can relate to what you said.
Sounds great to me! Well done for carrying on. I graduated over a year ago and managed 5 or 6 K two or three times a week for a couple of months. Then for various reasons stopped doing it for a while then found it hard to get going.
I’m back again now but think I am happy at 4/5K. I am out there and doing it regularly which to me is better than trying to get to 10K and giving up.
Still running twice a week, fantastic. I'm only now pushing on to 10k, but it's really only to give me the option because there are some lovely longer trails where I live. But mostly I'm happy with 4-6k, like you. It doesn't take too much time out of the day, for one thing! Happy running 😊
I think sometimes we push ourselves to go further and go faster and can lose the joy we felt when we first started running. If you enjoy running 4-6k and are able to get out regularly, good for you! Do what makes you happy and keeps the joy in running.
Nope. If you're happy then you're doing what's right for you!
I keep getting folk asking when I'm going to enter an event. I have no interest in these but I do feel a bit of pressure at times and wonder if I should... but doing what's right for ourselves is the most important thing.
So long as you're enjoying what you're doing then you're doing great! 👍😁
You say you’re a “solo runner” - running with others is (to me) more enjoyable and more motivating. Parkrun is in your comfort zone for range, might be worth a go .....
