Graduated 5k today having done my third run... So pleased and can't quite believe the speed of my progress

[Burghfield]

51 yrs old and unfit... Dec 27 weighed 17st 6lb.... Now weigh 14st... Started the C25K a month ago and because of the route I do (down the lanes away from view) I found that Laura was finishing and I still had some way to get home, so I just carried on jogging slowly.... Can't believe that now I have done the 6.42km in 40.49 mins! Feeling fitter than I have ever done and looking forward to keeping up the progress... Even started shopping at Decathalon!

Thanks to C25K and Laura, you have inspired me no end...

You can't jog all that slowly....! Over 6k in 40 mins is great. I finished yesterday and also ran on after the 30 mins, and did 5k in 36 mins. Don't think I could have done a further 1k! Maybe next time...

Well done!

[Burghfield Graduate in reply to Tadaruns]

I use Endomondo so I can see what I am up to. Start and end are slow, but the middle bit is ok... Did 1k in 6 mins exactly and 1 in 5 mins.58, those 2 really spurred me on... Lucky that the route is dead flat...

36 mins is great... Don't know about you, but I used Laura's 5 mins cool down as my "extra run" and then added my own cool down after.. It's kind of ok because you have done the required and any extra is just that,extra, and so no pressure! Bet you will do that extra 1k very soon..

[Mummysaurus Graduate]

Well done you have done amazingly well and I am sure that 10k is coming in the very near future.

[SJN2K Graduate]
