hi

today is a big day hope the weather improves heavy rain so far.

I noticed a few posts about week 9 and when i looked at my app(Zenlabs) there is no week 9

the nhs app weeks 7,8 and 9 lead up to 30 min running

but my app only has week 7 and 8 up to 30 mins running

and no week 9

any thoughts donnt really want to change apps mid stream

If you want to be able to say you graduated from C25k at run 3 week 9 you could always run that one after you finished your zenlab program.

If that's what you were asking about. I could have misunderstood though 😃

The outcome will be the same in that you can run for 30 minutes

:) I did that one!!! The Zen 8!!!! I can vehemently say when it got me through it could get anyone through :)

It might be a bit "tougher" in that it asks for one week less and graduation run is five minutes longer but darn few finish the NHS one on time with distance either :)

I tried the NHS version about five weeks in but it was too "busy" for me after being used to the rather Stoic Zen :)

Either way you decide should be perfectly fine - both work;)

Happy Running :)

You need to run 30 minutes 3x to graduate. Hope your run went well!

Oops just saw your other post. "my" Zen final run was 35 minutes so I did that another two times to graduate here :)
