What next after C25K?

[OliOli70]

I never thought I’d be able to run for more than 30 seconds let alone find myself , as I do now, at the beginning of week 9! But now I’m in a panic, having enjoyed the structure of the program and hearing Sarah Milican then Jo Whiley encouraging me along , what next ? I do need a voice in my ear - what do other graduates do ?

I’ve actually enjoyed having the freedom of not been in a set plan.

I use Runkeeper, which gives you verbal updates and encouragement every 5 mins. I also love listening to podcasts whilst I run.

You are doing great. Good luck in your last week 😁

Keep running 30s until they’re comfortable at least... if you drop a gear they can even be easy. While you’re doing that, think about what you want from running... any goals you may have, in my case a drunken marathon, will lead you to the right start line.

I’m using the Nike app... some runs I’m Music/podcasts with updates, other runs I have coaches and legendary runners in my ears. When I eventually can run 90 minutes I get to run with Eliud Kipchoge!

Thank you for the tips! I’ll give them a go . Running 🏃🏻‍♀️ 30 easily is probably my first challenge 😂

This is the guide that I send out to graduates healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Keep running, keep smiling.
