Hi, I graduated yesterday. Can someone point me in the right direction of what I should be doing next? I’ve seen posts before but can’t find them now. Thanks in advance

Generally it is suggested to do a few weeks of consolidation (I did 3 if that helps) just to cement the 30 mins of running in your legs and get you comfortable with that.

There are also the stepping stones podcasts (to work on speed and stamina).

Another option after consolidation is to head over to the Bridge to 10k forum and push on to 10k or 60 minutes of running (you can do either distance or time) with Ju-ju's magic 10 running plan.

If you look under the Topics for C25k+ or search for Stepping Stone Podcasts you will find useful information. The world is your oyster : )

I just checked and in the pinned posts (it may not show up without opening up the whole list) there is a post called Decisions, decisions...decisions !! Which is aimed at graduates or near graduates to help them decide. I can't cut and paste the link on my phone in this forum (lord knows why).
