Yes yes yes, I have just done my final run in the fabulous journey, just want to thank everyone on here for the support I have had, never ever thought I would run non stop for 30 minutes, and boy do,s it feel good, been a struggle the last 3 runs been nursing a calf Injury but took a week rest and did my last run tonight, my question is what next? Is there another app to continue? Think I’d be lost without Michael Johnson talking me thru it. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸ†

Fantastic! Congratulations! Enjoy your achievement and your new ability! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜πŸ’₯

Have a look at ideas for what next healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

And maybe consider joining the bridge to 10k forum where you'll find other graduates moving onwards. You'll still see and participate in c25k posts too!

For my first few runs I carried on with the app just for reassurance. But now I just run, before I start I have a goal in mind, either time or distance depending on where I’m running. I keep an eye on the time for my 5 minute warm up, then just plod along. I did try one of the podcasts but it was too fast for me, but I am up to 5k now (including warm up and cool down walks). I would like to get my distance up, my physio says there’s no harm in interval training for longer distances, which I suppose it’s what C25K does. Enjoy the running.

Well done πŸ₯³ I still listen to Laura for the 1st 30 mins of run and it is now 5 months since graduating C25K. Just got my 10K badge on Thursday however would not have been able to do it without the 30 minutes of encouragement. Keep up your 30 mins runs and congratulations again.

You’re amazing! Such a good feeling of achievement! I am frustrated as I finished my C25K about 10 days ago then had a bad cold and had to stop. Plan to start again today as I don’t want to lose the momentum! I haven’t decided whether to continue listening to Michael Johnson or whether to go it alone. May try a bit of both. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
