Can't believe I did it

Yesterday I graduated the Couch to 5k, yayy me . I really find the first ten minutes hard and then the rest appears easier. I'm nowhere near 5k but this is about stamina and longevity. I feel I run like a snail and am at 13.80 per km.

This though is all down to one of my best friends Rachael xx

Yay you! Brilliant! I agree, the first 10 mins is like running through treacle then you find your pace and the breathing settles. Slow and steady all the way.....from a fellow slowcoach 🐢🐢🐢

Congratulations. I hope to Graduate next week. I too find the first 5 to 10 mins the hardest then I find my rhythm and relax into the run. Hope you have celebrated your graduation in some way.
