Graduated! Still a lot to learn

[David9]

So I completed week 9 run 3 last night. In 30 degrees!!!

I set off at what I thought was a reasonable pace but the last part I just started to crumble in the heat and slowed right down. I was convinced it would be a very short run due to how slow I was finishing. Map my run gave me a nice surprise at the end though.

Now I have finished c25k I think I will use the voice feedback on map my run so I can run with a better overall pace!

Oh well. Main thing is. I did it!!!

Not sure what to do next.

Should I keep running 30 mins for now and see if I can improve on distance or should I keep running 5km and see if I can improve on time?

I think I'm tempted to stick with 30 minutes for the next few weeks and see how it goes.

Many Congratulations to you David !

Blimey that is a speedy pace , even more impressive in this weather . Well done to you !

I would carry on doing the 30 minutes 3 times a week for the time being , just to get you used to running for 30 minutes at a time .

Well done again xxx

Thank you!

Ok, 30 minute runs for a few weeks then I will reassess I think.

Still can't get my head round ME running for 30 minutes 3 times a week. Madness! What an achievement!

Listen to the wise ones... Stick at the thirty mins.. or less if you feel like it Run for pleasure, run for joy, run for the sheer, because you can, of it.. then start the next phase of your next running journey

It is truly amazing, where ever and however you travel your path
