Week 9 Run 3 complete, I made it!

So pleased with myself, a great run to end the course with, lovely bright sunshine and everything just clicked so I was able to enjoy it. Wasn't even too shattered at the end - must push harder next time!

Now to research how I get a "graduate" tag, and what I should be doing next week - was thinking of keeping two days at 30mins and then gradually extending the other day to see how much I can push that up over time. And I need to get myself some new listening material now the 9 weeks are over!

Well done graduate, leave a message on this link to request your lovely badge

New graduates are usually advised to consolidate your three 30 minute runs for a few weeks whilst you ponder your next goals.

Thanks for pointing that out - just posted to it. I'll take your advice and keep it steady for a few weeks, makes sense! It'll be a big enough change having my own terrible music choices to listen to rather than the podcast :)

No bubbly in the end, but I have succumbed to chocolate truffles left from Xmas :)

Try the C25K+ podcasts. They don't suit everyone but a good place to start.

And congrats.
