Post grad running

[EL82]

OK so just completed my first post grad run this morning and another 5k just over 34mins so slightly slower. Glad to prove to myself that I can run outside the structure and encouragement of the C25k app. My daughter ran with me and she did 5k with ease. After 9 weeks hard slog it's good to know I am almost on par with an 11yr old! 😂 Still committed to running and keeping my fitness on track. 🏃

Ooo that’s a good time/distance! Well done you! I’m yet to embark on post-grad run (heck it was only yesterday 😅), and I’m a little nervous of the lack of structure. Might use W9 a bit longer.

Have you done a Parkrun yet, and if not would you be tempted to? 🏃‍♀️😀

Plan to do a park run soon. Want to keep up the 5k three times a week for a while then maybe try bridge to 10k.... Good luck with post grad running, I have strava updates every km to keep me on track so that helps.

I just graduated too, and I think I will use W9 for the structure for a while as well. I have been running a bit longer if I can or I'm headed downhill, but I like the companionship of my coach!

I tried that this morning. Popped on W9R3 for my first post-grad run. The app started, MJ said off you go, and that was the last I heard from him! Apparently it’s happened to a few people!! 😅

Oh dear. I have never had any trouble repeating weeks before. I will try it tomorrow. Worrying as I have to send my fitbit off for repair tomorrow as well. I will let you know if it happens to me--maybe Sarah Millican won't be so anxious to get rid of me!!

Will be curious if Sarah still talks to you! MJ was clearly busy at the European Champs, or possibly helping newbies to C25K!

LOL. Yeah, Sarah might be busy at The Fringe. I haven't checked her schedule.
