Nearly didn’t go today because it was so frosty here - but I did it and it feels great. I’ll enjoy the achievement for now but then comes the challenge of keeping it going. Any tips?

Have you read the programme notes as plenty of tips there It’s in a pinned post

I have a plan on the go all the time which forces me out. If it’s on the plan it gets done Just do it ✅. It’s a mantra 💪. Thinking about the run can be off-putting so I don’t think about it 😎

You very quickly get acclimatised to cold weather. It’s quite amazing 👍

Congratulations Blue53 on graduating and completing week 9 run 3 of C25K You have now 🎓 graduated, over the next 3 weeks run 6/30 minute consolidation runs before deciding if you want to go on to longer distances such as the 10K podcasts. To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE next to your username leave a message on the November graduate post in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked C25K home page and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K 🎓
