W9R3... I'm a graduate! 🏆

[clairer6873]

This morning, I did my last c25k run! 🏆 I've always wanted to run 5k in under 30mins (even if by just 1 second!) which I have now achieved 😁

I started my journey at W5, as I have ran in the past (although not for over a year!) I wanted to complete the c25k by the time my holiday came, which is today! So I'm now on my way to the airport as a c25k graduate... can you believe that I've even packed my gym kit for use in the hotel gym!! 🏃‍♀️ 🏝

I've really enjoyed the c25k experience, the app is brilliant and really helped me through!🏃‍♀️🏆

My plan is to continue for a few weeks running for 30mins as although I can do it, I'm finding it a challenge (more mentally than physically). I'm then going to continue adding 2 minutes each week to my runs. I also want to venture to outdoor running, so I need to find some routes to try (park run is far too early on a Saturday for me!) 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Good luck to everyone just starting or currently on their c25k journey... you've got this!!🏆

For now, I'm off to Bali 🏝☀️🥂

Congrats... I’m W1R2 I found my second run harder then the first :s

[clairer6873 Graduate in reply to robaustinn]

Thank you! I've often found the 2nd or 3rd runs harder than the 1st so don't worry about that too much. In fact, my W9R1 was my best of the 3 runs! Keep going and enjoy 😊
