So I've graduated and can run 5k so the obvious next step?' Sign up to do a half marathon of course!! My enthusiasm may have got the better of me but I'm sure it will be fine!!
Half marathon?: So I've graduated and can run 5k... - Couch to 5K

I'm a bit confused....
I thought " Gosh graduate to HM is ambitious!", but then thought, maybe the graduation was sometime ago, and you have been consolidating forever.
But looking at your posts you completed week 5 run 3, thirteen days ago!
How is this possible?
I decided to completely miss out weeks 6,7,8 and 9 and go straight to 5K (so graduated) which was a really bad idea so I've gone back and am officially on week 7 but my third run each week is a 5K because I can do it easily. I thought if I can do 5K in 6 weeks what's another 16??!! I may have been a bit enthusiastic but it will be fine!!
Don't over do it Rikki, it takes a long time to build up those running legs.
Stay healthy 😊
I’m on my last run today and looking for the next challenge and I’m already looking into the training for the half marathon ! It’s being fuelled by a friend of mine who runs full marathons on a regular basis, they’ve already suggested I could train for a full marathon later in the year but that seems a bridge to far 😮

Next step 10k surely?! Don’t build up too quickly! 10% rule!

As long as you train you will be fine, I signed up for my first half and I hadn't done more than a park run.
A running club will help with training.
