So delighted and excited to tell you I have been out twice this week and managed to complete runs 1 & 2 of Week 9 of C25K β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Run one was a run after work in the rain, which felt absolutely fantastic. It felt so wonderful to be able to run for 30 minutes again and to finally be able to run 5k again I couldnβt believe seeing 5k on my Fitbit screen!! I felt so strong during this run and so very happy. My splits were: 6.06, 5:48, 5:56, 5:45 and 5:37 which I was so delighted with ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦π
My second run was my first fully vaccinated run along the river π³π²π³π²π³π²π³π²π³π²π³π²π³π²π³π²π³then finished off in the park close to where I used to do most of my running when I did C25K the first time round. I really felt like a runner again enjoying all the memories I have of C25K and all the wonderful support I have received. I truly felt so strong and enjoyed every step of the run, it truly felt so magical and exciting to be back out there again running 5k and having so much hope and excitement for the future. My splits were 6:00, 6:03, 5:35, 5:17 and 5:14.
So my lovely number one Coach βοΈjust one final run left to complete this mission πͺπͺπͺπͺ. I am so excited to run this with you, it truly means the world ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎDecided to wait till my my next day off work next week to complete the final run as I truly want to enjoy every second of it. Thank you so much to everyone for all the fantastic support and encouragement, π₯°β€οΈπ₯°β€οΈπ₯°β€οΈπ₯°β€οΈcould not have done it without you all. I have a feeling last run of C25K iis going to be very emotional!!!
Wishing you all a wonderful BH weekend filled with lots and lots of running, magic and sparkle.ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦
What a 'colourful' post from you Rebecca, very inspiring as well, I know that you enjoy your running so much, perhaps you go too much into detail on where you run, just be careful about that, especially in a big city like London, onwards and upwards for your final run of C25K, well done.
I have just come back from a 10K πΆ walk through the countryside near to where I live, it took me 1 hour 50 minutes, if I had ran it would probably have been in around the 70/75 minutes range, however, this Wednesday I intend to run 10K but not on the same route as I walked this morning.
So lovely to read such a positive post from you, with all those ticks showing how far youβve come! Very happy for you. Wonderful that you are making the graduation run so special, as indeed you should as itβs a symbol of the struggles youβve gone through both with your running and other aspects of your life to regain control of your fitness. Well done, Rebecca, weβve all been cheering you on from the sidelines and have loved to see you blossom again on this journey π xx
Awww Julia thank you so very much for your incredibly kind words and all your friendship and support I can remember speaking to you about starting C25K again and now I have nearly finished it! So grateful to you Jools2020 and Instructor57 my first HU lovely running friends for both your support, advice and friendship from the first time I did C25K !!

I'm a week behind you lol I've ran week 8, run 1 on Thursday so I really should get out today for run 2. I keep reminding myself that I'll eventually feel as good as I do in the first 10 mins at the end of the 5k! When are you planning run number 3?
Aww that is fantastic, massive well done to you, amazing you are so close to graduating, how exciting. Enjoy your run today, you can do it. You will do. I am planning to run it tomorrow although do feel tempted today but going to wait till day off. Happy running

Very detailed Rebecca, just take it nice and steady distance over speed I learnt it helped me a lot, you don't wanna do your self an injury I learnt that as well, but listen good luck finishing your goals mine is to run a half marathon by the end of summer..
Thank you Stocksy1967 yes that is a very good point. I think it is the excitement of being able to run again after not being able to for a few months. That is an absolutely fantastic goal, good luck, mine is to get back to running 10k. Enjoy your next run
