Oh my, I’ve actually graduated 😳 What do I do now?

Would 2x 30 minute runs and a shorter - faster run work? I’m currently running 3.5k in 30 mins

Fantastic work ☺ i think celebrations are in order!!

That is a question most of us ask on grad. I would keep at the 30 min runs for a month or two. Get those new found running legs used to the distance ☺ and have a think on what you want to achieve next 😁

Congratulations! First things first... celebrate!

Then the usual is to consolidate by doing a couple of weeks of 30 minutes. After that I’d start thinking in distance and using the 10% rule you add up your weekly distance, so 10.5k and add 1k to your running, so next week could read 3.5k, 4K, 4K, then you have 11.5 so again 1 to add, maybe 3.5, 4.5 and 4.5 and so on. Once you get to 5, ju-ju’s plan on bridge to 10k can increase your endurance, and with that your 5k speed will come... or you could follow a 5k race plan which would also increase your distance, but with more focus on speed work.

But don’t forget that celebration... you’ve earned it 🍾🍾🍾

Congratulations LapoftheGods on completing C25K with week 9 run 3 of C25K and graduating. I agree fully with UnfitNoMore on what your future running plans should be. To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE next to your username leave a message on the October graduate πŸŽ“ post in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked C25K home page and tell the administrators that you have completed C25K with W9R3 πŸ˜ŠπŸƒ
