Hurrah - I did it! 🀣 10 weeks in total, but I bloody did it!! Now I'm wondering what next? I would really like to work my way up to 10k from here & am looking for podcast recommendations similar to this where you can "play your own kind of music" in the background?

By the way... I think it would have been nice to make a voice over especially for the last run on here? Perhaps with some cheering or summat or sumfink? 🀣 Gonna miss you Sanjeev!! 😘😘

Massive congratulations!! πŸ‘πŸŽ‰πŸ₯‡

Try to consolidate your achievement with 3 x 30 min runs for 3 weeks. If you feel ready, increase 1 of those runs by 10% each week. After that try Laura’s podcasts then the bridge to 10k? The world is your oyster πŸ˜‚. Just enjoy your achievement for a bit.

Well done! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Congrats! 😊

There is a masterpost somewhere of what to do once you've finished c25k, at least 3 weeks of consolidation are recommended (3 x 30 minutes each week).

Have a look at the bridge to 10k forum (b210k), a lot of people there are following ju ju's 10k plan or making their own way, good luck with your future running 😊
