Many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Congratulations! I use guided runs on the Nike Run Club app... there’s some good coaching on there. Celebrate your achievement and enjoy consolidation and the road to that 5k run.

I did my own thing by contacting with 3x runs a week but increased the running time by 10% each week until I got to 42 minutes as it was taking my eldest kitten about that long to complete parkrun

I know I would get bored doing the same runs all the time. Do you think you will be better winging it or progressing with some structure?

I redid the graduation run again and again during my consolidation runs. I needed the encouragement and the timings still, just changed the coach for variation!

Magic ! Well done you šŸ„‡ā­ļøā­ļøā­ļø !

Hi well done, it feels great doesn’t it. I did the same as Disco runner at first but was getting bored of that so I have downloaded the C25K steppingstones stone podcast also narrated by Laura that helps build pace with lots of stucture too and found this has helped increase my pace(I’m mega snail pace!).
