Just completed w9r3 and feel awesome π got back from Florida vacation yesterday where only managed to get in 3 runs in two weeks & a bit jet lagged so was a bit anxious but managed just fine - even speeded up in last 60 seconds. Any hints for next steps anyone?

If you look at the pinned posts, thereβs one called
FAQ Post C25K Completed...What Next? by Iannodatruffe - thatβs got lots of great info and suggestions in it.
Thereβs also a pinned July Graduation Badge post where you can let the admins know youβve graduated, so you get the shiny βgraduateβ badge added next to your name on this forum. π
Congratulations and well done! πππΎπ₯ππ₯

Well done!
Next steps - what do you want to achieve? A longer distance? A faster time? Share your aim and weβll all try to help you get there.
Tbh I havenβt recorded my distance - just time. I am prob less than 5K so that will be my aim

Well itβs been a rocky road the last 2 weeks with me trying too hard to increase my pace ending up in potential disaster but fortunately no harm done - at least physically anyway.
Lessons learned - pay attention to advice regarding keep repeating week 9 for at least a few weeks.
Make sure you are kitted out in right clothing (especially in this heat)
Remind yourself of original aim to run for 30 mins - doesnβt matter what the pace is or if well short of 5K - you are out there and getting stronger each week
