Just back from my final run of c25k and am immensley proud of myself. 3 years ago i i suffered a prolapsed disc and emergency surgery and it was a huge wake up call to get myself in order. now i am fit and almost a 'normal' BMI I can look back and enjoy what i have achieved so far. when i started this programme i did not realise i was such a goal driven person. that was a real eye opener. next goal? get to 5k in 30 mins then who knows whats next?? big thank you to everyone who has encouraged me along the way

Well done on Graduating in C25K.

It must be a brilliant feeling. I'm looking forward to doing the same in two weeks time.

You have obviously come a long way.

Be good to see how you get on with getting to 5K in 30 minutes.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Hi Becky, the runs are going well😉 Thanks. Just completed my First Run in week 8 and hit felt so good. In fact it felt much better than my three 25 minute regards last week.

Thanks for your encouragement. What is your goal now you have completed C25K?

Thanks BlueCal - that's great, you are almost there - end of next week and you will be graduating? My plan is just to get to 5k in the 30 mins now. I am only doing about 4km at the moment. will need to take the time to sit and read all the info about increasing pace, but actually I will probably just keep running as I am for 2 or 3 weeks as like you, I am really enjoying it. Good luck with this week and next week - you will smash it.
