Welcome anyone who wants to post and log their running for the next 4 weeks as we settle into our post-grad running life. I'm using Roman numerals to distinguish these 4 weeks from the c25k programme and well, because they're swanky.
I'm 49 and just graduated on Sat. I'm running 35;30;35 mins this week, adding in some stretches for the first time after my run. And ladies if you've had children, consider joining me in this :doing pelvic floor exercises 2x day if I remember. If you're coordinated maybe do them when you brush your teeth. Love to hear other people's plans and see your progress.
I love your post! Pelvic floor exercises? A fantastic idea, I have struggled with wanting a wee a few times on longer runs, thinking ahead, I love it!! There is a to 10k forum too, might be good to go there too to pick up tips beyond C25K?
Like your plan to settle into a set time for your runs for now, as that will build your stamina while allowing you to recover from a challenging programme too. Keep us posted! I always wear a C25K t shirt when I run because I am very proud of the programme and know from experience, it does amazing things. Julie (I graduated about 16 weeks ago now but love seeing new running stories)!
Hiya Julie, leaks is something I hadn't taken into account with longer runs. I know I need the PF exercises - when I sneeze. Still don't do them but determined to change. They really don't take long .
I'll check out the 10k forum, thanks for that Julie
Where did you get the t-shirt from?

They are good quality, I have two, one in pink and the other in red.

Thanks forcthat Julie. I'm getting myself one in pink
We deserve to wear one and it promotes the programme to others, where would we b without it? LOL
True
I certainly wouldn't be running. I needed the structure building up week by week. On my own I would have run too long, too fast, too far or at least tried to, found it all too difficult and given up. I tell a lot of people about the c25k but don't think I've inspired anyone to have a go.
