Graduation!

[Sweatinglikeafatlass]

Delighted with myself to have graduated the programme, would never have believed 9 (ish) weeks ago that could run anywhere!

Have now done 3 x 5km runs just to make sure that it wasn’t a fluke, time improving every time I go out. Feel quite happy to stick to the 5km at the moment, aiming for that magic 30 minutes but happy to do it in less than 40!!

Well done you! The programme is amazing, isn't it? I was doubtful that it could get me running and I'm now starting week 7! Well done on you 5k, how long did you first one take?

[Sweatinglikeafatlass in reply to SarahB1965]

First one was 39 minutes, I did the 30 listening to the app and then just decided to keep going, that was W9R1!! Second one 37 minutes, last one 36.5! Not actually sure I could go any faster but loving having a go! Thinking about a Park Run but want to be more confident first! Well done on your progress, you can do it!! 🏃🏼‍♀️

Or in a disco, a mate alway's used to say I'm sweating like a fat lad in Greggs with no money

Well done! I’m on day 2 of my first week! I am so determined to do this!

[Sweatinglikeafatlass in reply to AndreaYearsley]

Really really well done, the programme does work. In a few weeks you’ll be wondering why you didn’t do it years ago! And no matter how slow you’re going, you’ll always be lapping those still on the sofa!!! X

just graduated myself on MOnday! now for 10 K!!

[Sweatinglikeafatlass in reply to Jocomoso]

Good luck!!! I know i need to build myself up before that commitment!! I’m not sure I could do one more step once I’ve hit the 5km!! 😂😂

[VictoriaRuns Graduate in reply to Jocomoso]

Congrats Jocomoso! Try to enjoy your 5Ks for a bit first 🤣

[Jocomoso Graduate]

I feel like that tbh! my last 2 weeks (6 runs) of C25K were all horrible so I'm taking the advice of one of the bridge to 10 K peeps who say do the same routine for another 3 weeks before extending distance or adjusting pace and make it enjoyable! I can barely look up from the road never mind enjoy it! so hoping the enjoyment will kick in soon!! but I do feel accomplished!

Congratulations! The 30 min 5K is magic but don't fixate on it too much, just enjoy every run that you do and marvel at how far you have come
