Another one in the bag! C25k revisited!

Im still on my comeback-C25k journey, after calf strains and illness, having recovered well but now stepping up my running again!

Today, C25k week 6 run 1, the one with running intervals of 5 minutes, 8 minutes, 5 minutes. Well, I somehow accidentally started running a full minute earlier, and missed out the last break, running continuously through the 8 min running intervals, the 3 min break and the last 5 min running interval.

So my recovery is going well. Now just hoping it continues!

Over the last 2 years, all my attempts in getting back to 10k were always interrupted.

So fingers crossed for this time around!But first, 5k is the next milestone. Then 10k.

Happy running!

Awwhhhh , yes, elusive 10k! I reached it once. Second time I trained up I reached 9k before going back on the IC. Then 7k. And the last time, I was one run away from running a 10k! Elusive is a perfect word for it! 😂😂

Brilliant! Sounds like it’s going well. It will be no time before you’re knocking on the door of 5K!!

Great work CBDB 😊👍I really think we need to celebrate reaching all the Ks 😂😂. I remember when I first tried working up to 10k and absolutely loving 8k runs

Congratulations!! The milestones are stacking up!

I’m the same-training programmes always have complications along the way. I guess the bonus if it feels extra nice to get to the end. Here’s hoping it’s plain sailing for you this time!

Yes, all part of being a runner, I guess! Best training for life as well! 😄😄

Terrific run!

Just three more weeks for that C25K milestone and then you can consolidate and get ready for the 10K!
