Congratulations jO-j0 , who honestly cares if the run was elegant, you did it! You completed C25K. You are a graduate

You can justifiably feel much pride in your journey and achievement. Well done!!

[jO-j0 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much. I never thought I would get to this week. I seem to have really caught this running bug!!!

[Hidden in reply to jO-j0]

Yeah that happens! I was a most definite non-runner 8 weeks ago, and I really enjoyed my last week 8 run this morning. I never thought in a million years I would enjoy running, sounds like you're in the same boat. Oh - apart from the fact that you're a week ahead of me, and now a member of the running elite

[jO-j0 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Lol, you wouldn’t say that if you saw me run. Good luck for your last week. You have got this!!!

[Hidden]

Elegant shmelegant. You are a champion. Well done.

[Feegle Graduate]

Ohhhh nice one graduate! Congratulations ⭐️🎓🏅. Claim that shiny badge 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻

[jO-j0 Graduate]

Any advice on what to do next Run wise?? Will keep doing the 30 mins for a while then what???

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to jO-j0]

I would consolidate your 30 min runs for a few weeks. Then think about the 5k+ podcasts, go steady though as these are a notch up. Also what about a Parkrun? That will move you to 5k and is so much fun. Are you doing any strength / core work ? If not try to add this into your rest day schedule if you can . After that......anything you like, but always build steady😀🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻👍🏼

[jO-j0 Graduate in reply to Millsie-J]

Thanks. We do have a park run near us, will look into that. I’ve been rowing on the days I don’t run and that has really helped with my running??? Will check out the podcasts too.

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to jO-j0]

Rowing is excellent. Don’t forget to register for Parkrun and print off your barcode to take with you. Enjoy!

Well done Jo-jo what an achievement. I did my Wk9r1 yesterday and I can assure you that wasn't very elegant either!!! Ha ha.

But do I care......no I don't.

Well done you, you should be so proud doing this amazing achievement. 🌝🌝

[jO-j0 Graduate in reply to Timd61]

I didn’t think when I started this all those weeks ago running would have such an huge affect on my life. The joy it brings can’t be measured. I have the bug

[Timd61 in reply to jO-j0]

I had a heart by pass op in April and couch25k has helped me to get on the right road to recovery.

Just like you I "enjoy being out jogging/running and feeling so much better for that little bit extra effort.

Also to see how people (just like yourself) on here achieving so many milestones on their exercise paths.

Well done and keep it up.

[Virginia60 Graduate]
