I've just done my first run of W7 so am wanting to plan ahead for after I finish the program. Has anyone found a good graduation program? I'm wanting to consolidate 5K before moving on to longer distances. I used to use Runkeeper but they have changed the training options since I last did it and it seems to be aimed at more experienced runners.

Parkrun is definitely something everyone should experience.

Not what you're looking for?
