Graduated on the couch to 5k app today. So pleased. Itโ€™s been tough. Any tips on keeping it up or good apps/pod casts going forward? ๐Ÿ˜Š

Congratulations!

The advice seems to be start with 3 weeks of 3 lots of 30 minutes then start to build up your duration and/or speed. Iโ€™m in the middle of that but extending the 3rd run each week by 10% (so it has been 33, next will be 36 then 40).

Enjoy.

No itโ€™s because Iโ€™m really slow. Iโ€™m needing to do this long to get close to 5k!
