W9 R1 + a new milestone!

Well! Here I am on week 9 (already!) Cant believe that just before New Year the warm-up walk got me out of breath! I also spent all my time either avoiding the smallest incline or wanting to cry when I ran (crawled) up it... fast forward to week 9 and not only did I run for 30 minutes, I went beyond for a few extra minutes so I could hit 5k! So proud of myself right now 😁

I literally have gone from couch to 5k! Feels so strange now reading my old posts and how hard I was finding those earlier runs... just goes to prove it absolutely works! πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ

Well done on your wonderful progress with your running on C25K, what a difference from just before the New Year, not long now until you graduate 😁 πŸƒ.

Great job and congratulations on the 5k. Take it easy now, stick to the 30 minutes as you close this out, there’s nothing left to prove!

Totally understand that one... glad you got it right, when I first went for it I set my tracker to 3 miles... cooldown all smug.,, stretches like superman... then lying with my legs up a tree I look at my tracker... 5k PB? And of course it then starts to sink in... 5k is 3.11 miles πŸ˜‚
