Hello

[Silverstar44]

Hi,

Well I finished my couch to 5k, im looking to improve and get quicker, I've been follow Nike run app since completing c 2 5k, following the guided runs done 3 easy runs, any tips welcome.

I would suggest a few weeks of consolidation runs bedding in what you did on C25k then try mixing your runs up a bit .Perhaps a 3 run cycle of a steady 5k , a quicker shorter run of around 3 or 3.5k but try to make this quicker than your 5k pace , maybe using some interval or Fartlek runs .

Then 1 slower longer run where you run at a slower pace then your 5k

If you want to increase your pace then running slowly will actually help you !

You will need patience to build your pace

Graduation badge is there but won't show on this forum

[Silverstar44 in reply to Instructor57]

Do I need to do anything to get it to show on here too.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Silverstar44]

No, your C25k graduate badge will only show on the c25k forum .If you want a badge here you can get a 60 Min graduate badge if you run for 1 hour or a graduate 10 badge when you do 10k 😁

[Silverstar44 in reply to Instructor57]

Ok, I got a bit of work to do to be able to do that.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Silverstar44]

All in good time 😁

Enjoy Consolidation. It is usual for people to do about 3 more weeks of 30 minute runs. You could mix them up as Instructor 57 suggests. I actually run slower on my longer runs now and enjoying it.
