I did it!!

Can't believe it's finished...what now?!

I found the app really helpful for motivation so does anyone know any other apps to carry on with? I'm not planning on storming right through to a 10k or anything but something to keep me going would be good!

Thanks to all you lots, I don't post much but reading your posts and replies and support for each other keeps me going strong!

You're all great 😁 xx

Huge well done!!

Consolidation is the name of the game.. lots of 30 minute runs.. different routes.. different distances.. then, maybe the C25K+ podcasts....they test the disciplines in our running and continue building up the t=running legs and stamina and strength!

But for now.. celebrate!

Whoop whoopπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ yes its you Wingie😊

Step up to the podium. Well done on Graduating. Your running adventures start now. As Oldfloss suggests consolidate your 30 min runs and get really comfortable with it. Then maybe look at the c25k + podcasts for a bit od structure and running tips.

Enjoy your celebrations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Happy running 😊x

Brilliant. Well done to you and congrats on your graduation run and beyond. Hope you find lots of consolidation runs with different routes to stay motivated. Personally I’m looking forward to doing some of the weeks like week 5 Run 3 again but with the knowledge that it’s a shorter run than normal instead of the dread that we all approached it with. Hope you keep on running.

Congratulations fellow runner

If you don't want to increase your run time you could try Zombie Run for a bit of fun.

Parkrun of course, is the real world equivalent of this forum and everyone should try it.

Just run for fun, somewhere beautiful and inspiring, to make yourself realise what a wonderful thing you have done for yourself.

There is a Health Unlocked Bridge to 10k forum, when you feel ready for it.

Keep running, keep smiling.

I see people writing about Parkrun but didnt really know what it meant! I live by the beach so lacking in parks here. I downloaded zombie run though so hopefully that will help 😊

Parkrun is worldwide parkrun.org.uk/ and if you are in the UK there will probably be one near you.
