C25K in 8 months, so how long for 5K2C?

[Hexslug]

Yes it has taken me 8 months.

W1 to W7 took 3 months because struggled with calf muscle issues. Had to take 3 or 4 rest days between each of the longer runs

W7R3 big calf strain, so out for over 2 months.

W1 to W9 another 3 months. Started again and slowly, because still scared about injury and tried to condition my legs better than the first attempt with 2 or 3 days rest after each run. From W7 managed 3 runs a week and calves were coping well.

Have enjoyed it a lot as I'am fitter, lighter and have a smaller waistline, but am already missing Laura's guidance. Have done 3 parkruns and want to do more, but not sure what I will do between times.

Thank you C25K, Laura and the C25K community for all your help.

Congrats! 5k2c is instant I guess, but you don’t wanna lol

Laura still there, 5k+ podcasts available

Race planning apps out there.

Depends what you want to do next, but any of the above can keep you busy!

Well done! There’s no going back now! You can find laura in the stepping stone , speed and stamina nhs choices podcasts if you miss her. I found the speed / interval training one good for me.
