Last but 1 run!!

Just got to 5k for the first time on my W9R2. Very pleased with myself. What a journey with shin splints and all along the way over these last few weeks! I don't want it to end and I am searching for new challenges now via apps to keep me as motivated as C25K has. Thanks to everyone who has offered support etc. on here, you have all been so so helpful.

Thank you. I was on 4k for ages but it slowly crept up and I am sure you will get there too. I think the really big deal is running for 30 minutes so well done to you too!

Great stuff well done, that puts you in the fastest top 10% I think (as 90% don’t reach 5k until after the end of week 9) - cracking stuff! Did that very same run myself this morning but feels like I’m still a couple of weeks away from a 5k.

Thank you. I wasn't really expecting to reach it this week, I thought that was a while away but something clicked today and I just went for it! Not sure I will do it every time but it is good to know it is possible
