Wanted to share with someone.....

[Jorun]

Hi. I started Couch to 5k in June having never run before. I couldn’t believe how hard that first minute of running was! But I stuck at it and amazingly graduated in August. I have continued to run 3 times a week and love it - I’ve even asked for a running watch for Christmas so I can compete against myself and track my progress. This morning I borrowed my son’s watch as I had no idea how fast I was running and did 5k in 35 minutes. I just had to share that with someone as there is no one at home at the moment to share it with - they are all really good runners so it probably won’t impress them but I’m chuffed with myself.

That’s amazing well done !! I’ve just graduated today - haven’t quite managed to run 5k (4.14k) but I’m determined to do it.

Go you !!!!!

It will come. .... just relax and enjoy the moment!

Well done Jorun, especially the consolidation. I’m there now and hope to continue 30x3 a week until Christmas without timing myself. I did do a park run @ 40:33 and decided it was too soon to do anymore so I’m playing around with a few podcasts to keep me going.

So nice to read about everyone’s achievements 👍🏼👟

Fantastic run! What a great time too!

Awww well done to you. I know that feeling of wanting to share your news but no one is around. 5k in 35 minutes is brilliant. I can only look forward to achieving such a time in the future.

Keep up the good work.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

We are IMPRESSED!!!! x

[Gaspode1 Graduate]

WOW well done you 😊 great time for your 5k.

When I completed my first 20 min run on the C25K program I had no-one at home so I text my daughters as, I agree with you, it’s good to share 😃

Sounds fabulous to me - I'm sitting here like a beetroot having just completed week 6 - so respect to you! 👏

[ejvcruns Graduate]

Wow! You've done really well! It's kind of pointless comparing yourself against others but the urge to do so is strong -- I'd be really pleased with that time! However I know that really the achievement is getting running and enjoying its many benefits.

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

[mcgurranhouse Graduate]

Your time is your time and you should rightly be proud of it.

Keep running, keep smiling.
