So W9 R2 completed!!! One more run, why shouldn’t I be smiling!!! 😝😝😝
A lot easier than W9 R1, can’t wait for the last one, rewarding myself with a full body massage!!! Can’t wait!!! 💝
Next steps to get faster and actually cover a fully 5k in 30min - any advice?? Don’t know where to start on that one!!!
One more to graduation, no way was I a runner!!!! Now I can smell the finish 😝😝😝 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
Tell him not to worry, it’s just your other love makes you feel amazing for hours 😂
Graduate, consolidate and then look at speed... it can come with specific pacing work, longer distances or just plain old practice and progress, depends where you want your running to go. If you’re looking at 10k speed over 5 should come pretty naturally.
Thank you. I do end up grinning most evenings. He must wonder what I’m up to but seriously just running gets me smiling. Increasing my distance for speed??? Seriously??? 😮
It is one way... there are others... they’re not as important as that next run though.
Very True!!! Bring on Friday/Saturday 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
Get to Graduation first... and keep husband guessing!
Well done.
I may miss your graduation as I will be away for a few days, so I will give you this link to a guide to post C25K running now healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Keep running, keep smiling.
Oh thanks much appreciated. X
Get your graduation run under your belt, enjoy the feeling, then consolidate for a few weeks, I did 5k 3 times a week for 3 weeks, then started to run a bit further, that helped to get my 5k times down so that eventually I have managed it few sub 30 5ks
Fabulous. Thanks for the advice. I will carry on. I just don’t want to stop 😝
Wha hey! Squeeze up on the podium. Make room for another one 👍🏃🏼♀️🏃🤗
Yes please one more space Friday/Saturday!!! Watch this space 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️

Don’t sweat the 5k thing. Just take your time. You get stronger as you keep running. 😃👍
Thank you. X
The way to get to 5k is to forget about 30 minutes. Don’t try to increase both pace and distance at the same time. If you add three minutes to your run each week (for example) it won’t be long till you’re running 5k. Then decide after that if you want to build up to longer distances or focus on pace instead.
Not quite.
Keep to your 30 mins for the time being, just to get your legs used to it. Try some different routes, have a bit of fun and relax.
When you're comfortable with that increase the time OR distance of your normal run by 10% and no more (the famous 10% Rule). Leave the other two at their normal 30 mins and no more.
Increasing either time or distance for all your runs in a week could injure you.
Just take it gently and as misswobble says, don't sweat the 5K thing. As you get used to running distance and pace will improve gradually.
There are whole bunch of different thrings to try, but for now just smile, realx and run around happy 
Liking the idea of 10% rule.... I think it will begin to stay the same for a week or until comfortable then move and push myself forward. I’m thinking if I have got this far already I will get there eventually some how. Bring on the graduation first. Looking forward to my massage reward 😝
A regular Sports Massage (if you find one locally) is a fantastic thing to do once a month.
Now c'mon. Concentrate. Let's get you through this Graduation thingummybob. Podium's all there and waiting for you to bound onto it
Never ask your husband for his opinion on your running technique!
W1R2 completed and I’m still smiling! 
All set for W9 R3 this weekend...husband wants to do my graduation run with me. Should I let him?
The beaming smile says it all
W5 R3 - Why all the fuss 🎉
