Finally after putting it off on Sunday due to tummy bug I completed W9R3 and with my normal sprint for the last minute I am so happy want to tell the world ! Only managing 4k but plan to increase time over next couple of weeks and when I can run 5k will then work on speed The C25K podcasts are brilliant. If I can do it anyone can !! Bring on Park runs and the Colour Run there is no stopping me now !!
Photo shows me as I finished face matches the t shirt (it was hot) but smile says it all !!
I've Done it :) :) : Finally after putting it... - Couch to 5K
I've Done it :) :)

Brilliant feeling isn't it?
I finished early this morning and I'm still buzzing at 10.35 pm.
So this is what's meant by a "Legal High".
Today 30 minutes, tomorrow the World!

Oh well done. I'm proper chuffed for you. I see no Graduate against your name though. Have you applied ?
The C25k+ podcasts are good too, and an obvious next step for you. Enjoy your running!

Well done. It's a wonderful feeling isn't it. I finished mine last week and only covered 4k , how will you improve this? Do you do intervals. I'm not sure what to do.
I'm thinking as I can sprint at the end of 30 minutes I should be ok with 35 without the sprint, thought of doing that 3 times then increase to 40 mins or 5k and then work on increasing speed I am not sure if that will work but I would like to actually run 5k before I do a park run. Do you think that would work and what are you doing now?
I'm not sure what would work as this is all new to me. I have completed the nhs couch to 5k + speed pod cast once, I think this will be good at increasing my speed. I was going to alternate a week or two between completing the speed podcast and increasing the time I run. Any advice would be good as not sure if it's a good plan or no.
Very well done ridingstar! I graduated this time last year and looking back I can remember what a great feeling it is. I hope you go on to further extend your endurance and speed over the coming year and soon you will be doing 10ks and HMs!

Oh! Many hearty congratulations to you ridingstar! Well done! ( I missed this yesterday sorry, love congratulating new grads!)
I wish you many years of cool runnings ahead
Thank you I put I up late as went out after my run and my girls don't get why I would want to delay going out to post on here and get my badge. But then they are not runners
