OMG I’ve done it!

[Couchfunky]

I can’t believe that I’ve completed this amazing programme. There have been wobbles along the way - all mental ones but with the support of this lovely forum I have carried on. I did 4.5 km in the 30 mins, exactly 9km/hr and it’s taken me 10 1/2 weeks. I am feeling chuffed and thinking about what to do next to harness this newfound energy! Thank you to the Administrators and to my contemporary C25K runners. It’s been a fun ride! 🎉🍾👩🏻‍🎓🏃🏽‍♀️🤸🏼‍♂️🏆

Congratulations and well done!

Bridge to 10k next?

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Olschool01. Not sure about 10k! Maybe try and get a bit quicker first 😀

[Hidden in reply to Couchfunky]

Good luck with it... 👍😀

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

Absolutely brilliant Couchfunky ...I love the photo too!! That's a very respectable time for 4.5k, very respectable...Doesn't matter how long it's taken or how many wobbles along the way, YOU HAVE DONE IT!!!! and for that you should be well chuffed!! Now go get your graduation badge!! healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I’m so chuffed Buddy 34 thanks. Thinking what to do next. Consolidate and then maybe try and get a bit quicker. Is there an app for speeding up a 5 k?

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Couchfunky]

Yes consolidate for the next few weeks. I never had an app to go faster it just seems to happen naturally.

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks Buddy

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

Good luck with Juju plan. A run on Christmas Day! No we that’s commitment. Even scarier is it only 8 weeks til Christmas?!

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate]

Glorious surroundings to enhance a victorious winner!! What a feeling that moment is!! Revel in it!! Well done you!!! Enjoy a few consolidation 30 mins runs while you decide what’s next! 👍👏🎈🥳

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

Hey Annieapple thanks for your lovely words. It was perfect in the Lakes. Hope you are enjoying Canada. What is your running plan?

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Couchfunky]

Because of the hilly terrain & higher altitude I am sticking to 30 mins 🐌running 3x week for the moment. Getting lots of hikes with the family at weekends too. So all good!

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

Great you are keeping to 30 mins. Sounds lovely and I bet the colours are amazing over there. Have fun 😊

[Tbae]

Very well done.💥🏃‍♀️⭐️👏 👏

You have loads of opportunities and enjoy your consolidation.👏👏

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to Tbae]

Thanks for my lovely emojis Tbae! 🏃🏽‍♀️

[MummyTum Graduate]

So lovely to read this! Well done 👏👏👏 Enjoy the sweet taste of graduation 😀

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to MummyTum]

Hey Mummytum. I had to do it once I had seen others graduating ! What’s your next plan?

[MummyTum Graduate in reply to Couchfunky]

Just keeping up the 30 mins 3 times a week at the moment! I think that’s as good as it gets for this season of life. As my fitness improves I may try to work towards 5K in 30 minutes, but that’s a looong way off!!

What about you?

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to MummyTum]

Hey well done you. 3 times a week is a massive achievement. I think I will do a couple of weeks of consolidation - all the wise peeps say to do that! And i will listen to you and see how it goes and hopefully either get faster or go for longer. I like to support of C25K so will miss that.

[jiggles7 Graduate]

Epic achievement well done!!

[Couchfunky Graduate in reply to jiggles7]

Epic!!! Love that thanks!

Thanks Seaside22. I’m not sure how to speed up but i will give it a go!
