Many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Congratulations! I use guided runs on the Nike Run Club app... thereā€™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 doesnā€™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(Iā€™m mega snail pace!).
