It was like running along a shallow stream for much of the time, there has been so much rain. It was drizzling but I wanted to get the run done today. I had planned a great circular route I bit longer than necessary but sadly my legs told me the extra incline I had included was a bit to much so I decided to return by the way I had come. My iPod told me I had completed 5k in 30 minutes which was a bonus. Feel really chuffed to have completed the programme today. I would like to thank the community for the support and encouragement over the last few weeks.
cold wet and windy but very pleased to say w9r... - Couch to 5K

Great stuff, well done you. Many congratulations. You need to apply for your graduate badge
Well done to you! especially in this horrible weather! A fantastic achievement , i'm on second run next of week 6......... did 4k in 34 mins............5k in 30 minutes is a great time!
Thanks Aliboo, I remember thinking week 6 was a turning point. I had not looked ahead so did not realise w6r3 was such a challenge but was pleasantly surprised to find I ran it comfortably. I look forward to reading about your progress over the coming weeks.

Glad you made it this weekend, too - great time! Enjoy your running.
Thanks, I had hoped to keep pace with you after I realised we were at roughly the same point
I don't find it easy! My mind was screaming for me to stop!
I'm planning to stop non-stop running for a while and try run-walk-run instead, to build up my distance.
What's next for you?
I plan to continue building stamina for the next couple of weeks. I have a longer circular run I have been thinking about. It is 7.7k I did try it for run three but the extra hill it introduced was just a bit too much. I have done one post grad run which was a little slower than my last two in week 9 although my iPod told me I had a fastest mile.

Well done and to do the 5k in 30 minutes is incredible, that took me months to get there... 10k next?? Enjoy the journey....
