C25K and BEYOND 😍🚀

[AliHC]

The weekend is always my time for doing the longest run of the week. So today I set off with minimum faffage and a clear route in mind and inspiration from Kipchoge and his marvelous marathon 🏃🏿

Last week my long run was 8.9k in 59 minutes (the longest so far) and felt pretty good at the end of it. So, doing the same route today with a bit extra was a no-brainer. TODAY I RAN 9.46K 🤣❤️🏃🏼‍♀️

I took some photos along the way, not my usual wildlife/happy photos, but very sad tributes to riders who have died along this road 😪 These people kept me going today as I thought... They will never be able to ride this route again, but I can run it...so don't give up now!

I'm looking forward to next week when I will hopefully not only run for over 60 minutes, but also break the 10k barrier! 🏃🏼‍♀️❤️

Enjoy the rest of your weekend xxx

Thank you Buddy34 ❤️

It was an amazing run! Felt completely relaxed all the way! 😲

The road is safer now the speed limit has changed! And it was early in the morning with VERY little traffic! xxx

Thank you Big_maz ❤️

When I look back to Week 3 (which wasn't that long ago) I can't belive how far I've come! I remember being daunted by even beginning C25K! I didn't tell anyone I was doing it for fear of failure! NOW I TELL EVERYONE! 🤣

You are doing great! Keep up the good work you've started xxx

I’m the same my son and my hubby know but I don’t want to tell anyone else for same reason so I will jog on 😊

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Big_maz]

It won't be long before you're telling more people ❤️

Oh my God, Ali, I really should have entered you for the marathon. Wow! You must have progressed quicker than almost anyone in C25K history. I’m very proud of you. 👏👏👏👏🏃‍♀️😘😘😘

It's a very strange feeling Puppy-love 😕 I do feel that I've gone from 5k to almost 10k very quickly and with relative ease? At school and in my early 20's I was always a sprinter and ABSOLUTELY HATED long distance running! But now! I'm am ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT ❤️

But the weird thing is... I still don't believe that I'm a runner? But I would really love to enter a half marathon one day 🏅

Thank you for being proud of me 🤗 I'm proud too 😊

Hope you're having a great weekend xxx
