One to go.

Little did I imagine nine weeks ago when I ventured to run for a minute and then walk for a minute that I would get to this point.

With only one run left on the couch to 5k I have registered for my first park run.

Have I enjoyed the experience? Oh yes!

Some runs more than others.

Advice to others..... slowly does it and take the rest days.

Now what next. I have the 5k to 10k app but seriously?

Possibly running with zombies? Seriously?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Oh and thank you for all the encouraging words.

Don't rush into anything. Take a few weeks regularly running 30mins x3 per week. Maybe use that time to plan a new years resolution for your running.

Well done on your progress so far!

I'd echo the above - get comfortable running 3 x 30m - maybe trying to increase distance covered (i.e. speed) work in a park run each week - as running with others (if you've been a solo runner to date) is different - try not to let the speeds they run dictate how you run - take it at your own pace and good luck - and congratulations on getting this far.

Just get to that podium.. and then.. well so much to choose from.. but consolidation is the name of the game to start with

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Well done, and I think we told you that you would get there.

It is indeed a remarkable little, life changing training plan.

What you do in the future depends on what you want to do in the future. C25Kers go off in all directions. The important thing at this stage is to get the habit well and truly ingrained into your life.

Enjoy your triumphal graduation run.

Well done on what you’ve achieved so far and good luck on your graduation run 🏆

I’m considering the 10K trainer after I graduate in 2 weeks, maybe a couple of consolidation weeks before starting the programme after Christmas.

Which app have you got?

[revrock Graduate in reply to TedG]

Stepping Stone podcasts and the Bridge to 10k group in Health Unlocked.

Realistically for me regular 5k is going to be the next goal along with Zombies Run for something different.

Well done you fantastic job well done enjoy the moment 👏👏

Nicely done, consolidate, consolidate consolidate. Focus on getting that 5k or whichever distance it is you fancy under your belt so its comfortable, then you can decide are you going for time or distance or are you going to mix it up a bit. I've found that through focussing on the 5k, that in time as my distance has improved, I actually prefer the longer runs of 10k. But I couldn't have found that out, unless I'd got the shorter (I know get me right, talking about 5k being short, when I used to struggle to do 5m!) ones sorted

Good luck and happy running
