OMG!!!!! It's amazing isn't it. We have no idea what we can do til we try it

Well done!

You could start on the C25k+ podcasts now. Free and downloadable here

Now you're running continuously you can think about running a bit further. 10% increase a week rule applies. Go very steady though as this is the time when you can overdo things in your enthusiasm to get running faster/further. Your body has to catch up so give it time.

Good luck and happy running

Thanks, it does feel great, not sure if I'm ready for the plus podcasts yet, I read a post about the stepping stone one and it sounded well scary lol!!! Think I'll stick to my slower runs for now lol 😀

[Bekib10 Graduate]

Wow! I wish I could run for an hour! That's great! Just think how far you've come from the first week of running for 1 minute! Well done!

[Laineydglm Graduate in reply to Bekib10]

Yes it's amazing how far it is from week 1 just ten weeks ago I struggled with running 1 minute, today I ran nearly 63 minutes! I'm overwhelmed by how so much progress can be made in such a short time 😀

Well done! I bet you're tired now though!

[Laineydglm Graduate in reply to jamsammich]

Thanks, I admit I may have been flagging towards the end lol, but as soon as I saw 5km on my garmin I grinned like a Cheshire Cat and got a renewed energy from somewhere 😀 when I walked through my front door I was grinning big time and let me tell you I was walking with swagger lol!!! 😀

Tired .......yes.......but so pleased 😀😀

[jamsammich Graduate in reply to Laineydglm]

[Helenaferridge Graduate]

Wow, well done! Still can't believe I'll ever be able to run 5k but your post has given be inspiration! 😀

[Laineydglm Graduate in reply to Helenaferridge]

Thanks 😀 you will get there if you follow the plan, I still can't believe I was able to do it but the plan really works 😀 and if I can do (I'm short and very overweight) anyone can 😀

Have a great run next time you go out, take it slow and steady and just enjoy each achievement 😀
