Can't believe I ran for 30 minutes!!

I have been following the C25K programme on the treadmill but today I decided on a 2nd attempt OUTSIDE after a disastrous run a couple of weeks ago. This time my breathing was under control and my pace steady from the outset, my speed only slightly less as well. I'm well chuffed with myself. I have always admired people out running and wished I could do that - now I know I can. Next run Week 9 Run 3 and graduation. Happy running to you all ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

Many thanks. The support from this forum is awesome.

Exciting stuff Redcat! You should be chuffed with yourself! Are you graduating on Saturday? I'll make sure I'm here to congratulate you!

Great to hear! I'm also doing the programme on a treadmill but do intend to start running outside soon. I really hope I manage to make the transition as smoothly as you!
