An update, 2 years on

[SueKen]

I did the women’s Couch to 5k run at Alexander Park today, and it was a great reminder to check into the forum with an update.

I graduated in June 2017, and I have kept in running. And it does get easier! Earlier in the week I revisited one of my week8/9 routes prior to today’s run and was reminded how much I struggled with those runs!

I still have a love/hate relationship with running, not helped by injury late last year, but I know I am fitter than I was. Im currently in training for a 10k in October, not helped by the recent hot weather.

Today’s run was a great reminder of the support we all give each other. For anyone currently working through C25k, stick with it, believe in yourself and the programme - it really is worth seeing it through.

Oh yes and in 2 years I have only managed a 30 min 5k once!

Good to hear you're still running regularly. Bet that was a tough 5k today though! Well done 👏👏👏 Good luck with the 10k training - it surely can't stay this hot for long 😀

Well done SueKen. I think we graduated around the same time. Delighted that your still running.

Thank you. It’s great to hear from graduates. We undergrads need to know there’s life beyond the end of the programme. Well done on your amazing progress.
