After week 8, I decided to take off on my own (or with my doggie). I can't wait to run 1,2,3 hours... I run around 40 min at the moment. We run in y the park, in the woods and up hills... We love them! I also got my friend's teenager involved... Great achievement, I'd say.
So I never finished week 9: After week 8, I... - Couch to 5K

Great that you can run for forty minutes.
You might find some of the information in this guide to post C25K running useful healthunlocked.com/couchto5... if only to make sure you don't do too much too soon.
Take care.
Thank you for that very sound advice. I am actually taking it very slowly. I don't want injuries and, although I am ambitious as to what I want to do in the future, I am not focused on competition. I want to be running out there and take on as many hills as I can. I am giving myself short term targets too, so for now my local hill will do (a Graham). In fact, I love that hill and any increase (no matter how little) gives me a buzz, but just being up it alone does that anyway... I will look at those articles you cite to make sure I do the right thing. Thank you.
