Nearing closer to graduation

10 Replies

Not long now. After what seems like eternity, I will be graduating this Saturday. I had an enjoyable run tonight and kept at a sensible pace that didn't put stress on my legs.

I won't move on to the 10K programme just yet. I want to focus on running the 5K under 30 minutes and start the 10K training in March.

Feeling excited about completing C25K :)

Thank you. I like the finality of completing something I started in the summer. I also want to start running without music because it's not the best thing to do on the roads at the moment. lol x

I know what you mean but what a achievement!! But I need my music I think I would struggle without it luckily I run on quiet country lanes xx

in reply to Frostycat2

I cope without music if it's parkrun or with a group of runners but not on my own. I'll give it a shot though.
