YAY!!!So Happy 😃 W9 R3 completed

[kmc66]

Cannot believe that I have finally completed C2 5K. I tried to run before this but hated it and gave up several times. Thank you everyone for the motivation & support you’ve given me, inc tips along the way. “slooow 🐢🐌 & steady” has definitely seen me through.

I am on such a high at the moment, weather was awful but I was so excited it didn’t bother me. For everyone who is doing this programme “you can do this !!” Listen to the tips from those on this forum, it really does make a difference. Good Luck 🍀 xx

Btw, where do I go next?

Well done and congrats. First of all,consolidate your running three times a week at the 5km level. Then take a sneaky peek at the Bridge to 10k group, if that’s what you want to do.

Some folk like to focus on speed and the speed podcasts help there. Oh and not forget parkruns. They are often a real boost post graduation.

But first of all just enjoy the view from that podium.

Happy running

Thank you, I will definitely give it a try, there’s a park run not too far from me and it’s flat 😊😊

Well done! It’s a wonderful sense of achievement, hey?

I graduated before Xmas and am doing an occasional Parkrun and also running 2-3 times per week trying new routes, etc. Getting bored now so need some structure too, maybe train for 10K 🤷‍♀️

[kmc66 Graduate in reply to feebe]

Fantastic! Well done you. Enjoy the view from that podium - youve earned it. (and please keep it warm as I'm just about to start Week 9 so hope to see you up there soon!)

[kmc66 Graduate in reply to Seaskimmer]

Hi Seaskimmer great to hear from you. We’ll both be graduating Feb 2018, who would have thought it 😜

[Seaskimmer Graduate in reply to kmc66]

I know. I still remember how hard those first few runs were. 1 minute felt like an eternity and I thought my ankles would shatter from the strain! Amazing how quickly they (& I) toughened up. 3 more to go. Only getting out about once a week at the moment but it'll still be soon. 😆

[kmc66 Graduate in reply to Seaskimmer]

I know, can’t believe that I actually enjoy it and want to run 😮 I previously hated running and never understood why people did it 😂😂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Seaskimmer]

ooooo exciting....

[kmc66 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Hi Oldfloss how do I get my badge, what do I have to go on?

[kmc66 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I have requested it but had a few problems with my phone so not sure if it’s gone through 😊

Fantastic- dance on that podium & brandish that badge! 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏😃

Enjoy the next step of your running adventure.

When I graduated, I treated myself to a new playlist of favourite music to jolly me along on my consolidation runs. Running to jazz is soooo dance flavoured! 😄

[kmc66 Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Thank you......Sounds good, loving the 80’s at the moment. Hoping that was the first of many 5ks, looking forward to the next step . 😊
