Graduation?

Well I’ve only gone and completed the third run for week 9! Amazed that I have completed the program. A little disappointed as I’m still 0.5km short of hitting 5km but so super chuffed that I’m running for a full 30minutes. Thanks to everyone involved in this program and for all the feedback received.

Guess this only means one thing, on to 10k next!

Congratulations. That 4.5k pace translates to 33:20 5k pace... I don’t know anyone here who’d be disappointed with that time! I graduated and then did the 5k, like the vast majority here, and actually try to run slower than that on 90% of my runs, the other day I crossed the 5k mark in 36:30 and was very pleased with that. Enjoy celebrating, consolidate where you are, bag the 5k and then enjoy that journey to 10k

Well done. Isn’t it an amazing feeling? I also graduated this week and have already done two 5k runs this week. I have never felt so good. Having never exercised before in my 59 years I am eating healthy running (and loving it) I am 2 and half stone lighter. Keep going, I aim to

I had been walking most days this year in a bid to become more active and lose weight. I started doing C25K to challenge myself a bit more instead of just walking all the time. I’ve lost 27kg by walking and running on alternate days, usually twice a day. Got another 10kg to go to hit my target.

Will be continuing with the walking and running while trying to increase the distance I cover while running.
