Finally ran 5.14k today!

I graduated from the ct5k programme three weeks ago but was very disheartened to realise that after mapping my run I was only running aprox 3.5k. But I've been working on it by repeating week 9, but running in the warmdown, and then doing my walk without music. Today I ran 5.14km in 40mins, and I'm feeling very proud of myself. Just wanted to share!

Well done on running over 5K! That's a great achievement, and a good time.

I don't think many people can run 5k on graduation . I graduated a month ago and today I re ran C25k week 9 podcast- I ran for 30 mins and managed just over 4k. So well done on sticking with it to 5K.

Happy running!

Kaboooom! Well done Mrs Mary. The fab thing about running is that your stats are always there to be bettered, which you will obviously do. So keep it up!

Excellent - and a good time too! I am pleased you are proud of yourself - you deserve to be after all the hard work you must have done to get there!

A couple of months ago running 5k would have been too difficult. Look how far you have come! Very well done indeed xxx
