GRADUATION

[Escargot]

I did it. I completed the 9-week Couch to 5K programme (although it probably took more like 10-11 weeks 😏).

But this past week (3 runs) I've ran 30 minutes nonstop covering 3.5km each time (just over 4km when including brisk warm up/ down walks.

At around 8:30 minutes/km, I'm about twice as slow as my Ironman son☺️. But I don't care 😁

I'll now work on distance (rather than time) to nail 5km. — in Veigy-Foncenex, Rhone-Alpes, France.

Congratulations! Celebrate well and enjoy that journey to 5k. With more distance will come more pace, but distance is the one to concentrate on... keep running comfortable.

Congratulations Escargot on graduating and completing week 9 run 3 of C25K, don't worry about how long it took you, you have done it, well done. 😊 🏃

To get your graduation badge and the word 🎓 graduate next to your username leave a message on the February 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 🎓 🏃 😊

You should be very proud of your Iron man son but don't compare yourself with him. 😊

[Escargot Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Wow. Thanks a million @IannodaTruffe for this info. I was wondering how I was going to handle my first post graduation run tomorrow.

Also, I really appreciate all the guidance especially about slow running because I’m a slow runner (8:30)
