Run Doris Run

[Doris-1950]

Started C25k almost 9 weeks ago having never run before . I have one run left before I graduate . After my 30mins run my iPhone says I have completed 6.1k. Kids bought me a Fitbit for my birthday last week but that says 4.9k.... sole destroying !!

Not sure if I’m ready for the Bridge to 10k but need a sound track that encourages me . Don’t really want to keep doing week 9.

Any suggestions ?

6.1k in 30 minutes!

You're flying.

You could try audio books or radio podcasts or just listen to your favourite music.

Audio books and podcasts don’t give me the encouragement I got from Jo on the C25K . She really spurred me on! I realise I have to consolidate but I need the encouragement that Jo Whitely gave and I don’t want to just keep repeating week 9 runs!

Once you have graduated you could try the C25k+ podcasts nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/...

Graduate first...if you have run for thirty minutes three times....you have done it.. and that is all that matters...

Before 10 K... there needs to be much more consolidation of the 30 minute runs... building up stamina and strength and running muscle!
