My Olympic Final!!!

[stupendous82]

I did it, I did it!! Today was the culmination of the last 5 months work. I started C25K in january and have been doing consolidation runs for the last few weeks. I have been tracking my runs on map my run and my aim has been to get under that 30mins mark, and today I did it!!!! Everything just clicked I changed my route a bit and when the app said 23:42 for 4K I thought I took a deep breath and thought today is the day!! I even had a bit left at the end!!! It feels amazing and I have been buzzing all day, I can’t recommend this program enough. It’s given me a whole new lease of life!!! Keep on Running!!!

Congrats Stu. Great achievement mate.

Looking to join you in the next few weeks. I've just a started week 8 and I've managed to keep on track. Won't make the 5k in 30 mins by week 9 but won't be far off.

Next step 10K?

Congratulations on that time stupendouss82, a great lesson on pacing, from 6.18Km for the first kilometer gradually increasing to 5.17Km in the final 1000 metres, well done. 😊 🏃

Brilliant, but if you want to get faster still, you need to learn to slow down, as described in the guide to post C25K running healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Long slow runs build stamina and strength better than pushing hard all the time, which is why elite athletes spend up to 80% of their running time at an easy conversational pace.

Sweet! And congrats. The graph looks as if a robot ran the 5kms. Everything is balanced.. as it should be. *Shut up inner Thanos!*

Wow.... those are some perfectly progressive splits... amazing run... congratulations! Your middle km is almost precisely the average pace... you shall go far... maybe 10k next.

Thank you for the lovely replies makes it all worthwhile, 10K for me now some nice longer slow and steady runs from now on
