Graduated!!

[Gofit]

Graduated yesterday morning! 😁 though slightly disappointed that although running continuously for 30 mins - actual distance according to my watch (Garmin approach x40 primarily golf gps also fitness band) - I only achieved about 2.75 miles on the actual running bit 😬. Mind you when I think back to week 1 - when I thought I’d die running for 1 min!! 😂😂

Any suggestions for further running apps to consolidate achievements so far - don’t have time for much longer than 30/40 min runs!

The Couch to 5k is a catchy name for Couch to 30 minutes of running. The next step is consolidation, and a ParkRun where you’ll get a very welcoming and supportive 5k experience. My first 5k was 37 minutes. Some take longer. Some less time. Well done at graduating! 🏆

Why are you disappointed you just ran 30 minutes non stop which is the most amazing achievement. Think back to wk1 when 60 seconds was hard.

Congratulations on completing c25k you must be so pleased well done 😊😊👏👏

You could try the c25k + podcasts or ZombiesRun! It's a good idea to consolidate your 30 mins of running, you could use week 9 for this.

Happy running 😊xx

I graduated in February and I’ve never got beyond 3k yet, so you’ve already beaten me 😄 Massive congratulations on your graduation 🥇⭐️⭐️⭐️ !

Well done on graduation! You managed further than me - on Wk9R3 I did 3.7km, so I think your distance is pretty impressive.

Just trying to assess if I'm capable of doing Parkrun this Saturday, or if I need to do some more consolidation. If I do PR it is going to be in excess of 40 mins.

Go for it : )

Congrats on your graduation !

Don't sweat the distance, my first 5k took me about 48 mins, which was well after graduation

Keep running, keep smiling.

Congratulations! There’s the C25K+ podcasts, but they’re really for after some consolidation. If you’re after half hour coached runs at comfortable pace, I highly recommend the guided run section of the Nike Run Club app... they have several awesome coaches, and some running legends ready to guide you through some 30 minute runs. Stay in the “short run” and “long run” sections for the time being.

Celebrate well, enjoy consolidation and all your future running adventures

Congratulations on graduating! Don’t worry too much about your speed now you can run for 30 mins you’ll be able to go a bit longer until you hit the 5k. When I graduated I was doing about 3.5km in 30mins, in the 3 weeks or so since I’m doing 5km in around 40-42 mins, honestly the extra 10 mins or so isn’t too difficult because it’s at a pace I can cope with. I think once you get comfortable with running the distance you can work on the time. I use mapmywalk as I started off just walking. It’s pretty accurate and also you can sign up to challenges to keep you motivated. Hope that helps.
