Week 9 Run 3; Done!

[KofG]

Just complete week 9's last run--and apparently also completed the program--Yee-Haw! What a great program, I managed to complete it in exactly 9 weeks and progressed as expected (I think). This morning I signed up for my first official 5k run: The 2015 Shamrock 'n Roll 5k, taking place in my home town on March 15, 2015. I guess between now and then I will continue to run for 30 minutes trying to increase my speed completing the 5k faster. During this last week it took me about 33 minutes to accomplish 5K. I'm just a beginner so I'll be happy if I can shave off 3 minutes allowing me to complete a 5k in 30 mins.

I'm glad to take any advice as to the best way to spend the next week getting ready for my official 5K!

Thanks!

Well done you!!!

Very well done. Don't forget to get your Graduates badge. You deserve it. Only advice I can give is to keep doing what you're doing. 33 mins is a good time and it won't be long before you are sub 30 mins..

[Hidden]

Great news. Just keep on doing what you're doing and enjoy the Shamrock 'n Roll 5K !

[Caroline69 Graduate]

Congratulations and well done! Try and stick to the routine of your 3 runs a week/ every other day for 30 mins til your 5k race. If your race is one that doesn't allow headphones, practice running "naked" - it takes a bit of getting used to, running without music or a beat to follow. Try the 5k+ podcasts, too - they are great to move on to and if you have one locally and you've not been along yet, sign up with your local parkrun!

[YvetteK Graduate]

Congratulations. All the best for your first race!
