Woo hoo BestKitten aka Gemma R graduated Today. Ran the full 5K in the programme time. Feeling chuffed. Not bad seeing as I only had a baby 20 weeks ago. Now planning to run 10K...Got the running bug! For all of you doing the programme.. HAVE FAITH! TRUST THE PROGRAMME! If I can do it YOU CAN DO IT! P s Excuse the blurry photo it was an action shot. 🀣😁

Thank you Melo1970. It gives me a little bit of me time unless my partner is busy than I run with the buggy and we have a mum and baby adventure lol. I am actually enjoying it and get a buzz every time I compete a run. Hope your running us going well. X

Wow! Congratulations. I’m impressed. With a 20 week old babe to look after as well.

Well done.

I’ve yet to complete the 9 weeks but I’m plodding on at a slightly slower rate as I haven’t always managed to do 3 β€˜runs’ each week

SHF99 it took me longer than 9 weeks to complete as some weeks we were limited with having a new baby/illnesses and Christmas . I think it was nearer 14 weeks lol but I can see the progress I have made. I still plod but for me it is about consistently running for a set period if time or a set distance. Good luck on your journey. X

Brilliant, congratulations. Now you should just consolidate running for 30minutes for the next few weeks. There is no rush to get onto a bridge to 10k programme, and you need to build up your running legs before increasing distance or you'll risk injury, and there's nothing worse than spending time on the IC, believe me, I know, I've been there.

Just enjoy your running and you can always use the C25K plus podcasts to add some variety.

Well done again. :-)
