Yippee, so pleased to have completed this run. I had to overcome technical issues as my app had paused. I was wandering why I had not heard Jo‘s encouraging words of wisdom for a long while. I checked my watch to find I had run an extra minute 🤦🏻‍♀️ checking the app I saw 11 mins to go and ‘play’ it had stopped due to earphone issues.

Not quite collapsing I quickly slowed to a hot and tired walk. It did mean I got to warm down for an extra 5 mins and complete over 5k even if it did include my warm up and down walks 🤣

I've had that happen too, but you didn’t let it put you off and you finished your run. Well done and happy running!

Thank you, I’m thinking about treating myself to some Bluetooth earbuds when I complete the C25K

Nice one HappyN! Hope you are enjoying these runs now. I thought they make all the hard work of the interval training worthwhile. 😀😀

[HappyNoodle Graduate in reply to _SimonT_]

I almost feel like a runner but I liked the interval too I think I might do some more later to try to increase my speed 🤦🏻‍♀️

I believe there is a podcast for post graduation along those lines for speed. For now I’d say just enjoy running about a bit! 😀

[HappyNoodle Graduate]

I will for now, I’m on a 12 minute mile now, hoping I’ll speed up when it cools down too 😊
