Completed .... as usual the first move from 25 minutes to 28 minutes felt harder !! But did it now only got five more runs to go ... ! What do people do next !

There are loads of follow on series podcasts depending on what you want to achieve. There’s the c25k+ which talks you through improving your stamina and pace, but I’ve also seen podcasts to help you prepare for a 10k.

I’m one run behind you, and personally when I graduate it’s my intention to consolidate what I’ve achieved by repeating week 9 a couple of weeks, (maybe running on Monday, Wednesday then parkrun Saturday morning) then do the c25k+ then load up the 10k podcasts.

I have milestones I want to achieve, firstly to run for 30 mins. Then to do my local park run in under 30 mins. Then I’ve already entered a 10k race at the back end of November and next year I would like to do a half marathon if I can.

Goals really help ! I am using the app as I had an injury so this is my second time around with a years break ! I think I’ll add in a park run as a good motivator and then do as you suggest repeating week 9 ... to keep in the groove ... I’ve done 10km in the past so just need to sign up for some !

I’m on week 9 and I’m going to do 3 x 30 mins for 3 weeks to consolidate before I tackle anything else.

I think then I’m probably going to to do the speed and endurance podcasts and incorporating park run on a Saturday and my friend’s running club on a Thursday 😊

Having just graduated today (yay!) I’m planning on a few weeks of running 30 mins till it’s comfortable. Then I’ll start the podcasts for speed and stamina. Then bridge to 10k!

Which are the podcasts for speed and stamina??

In the App Store search for C25k + There are 2 with Laura.
