I did it! W9R3 completed today. Forgot to turn Strava on so I dont know how far I ran, but I ran for full 30 mins. It wasnt easy but I dont feel 100%, tired, achy legs and generally a bit under the weather but I was determined to do it today so I chose a completely flat route and did it whilst my dog was at groomers for half an hour so I was on a time limit. So pleased I finished the programme and I will carry on running, although will go back to 20 mins run for a bit until I enjoy a greater percentage of the run. Right now I have only been enjoying the middle bit!

Congratulations on completing Couch to 5k! πŸ’ͺπŸ˜€ Such a great achievement and such a good feeling, isn't it? Of course where you take your running now is up to you but if you do stay at even one 30 min run a week, you will find that it starts to feel more comfortable, especially if you drop your pace a little too.

Be aware though, the first 10 minutes or so of a run always feel hard, I 'm afraid! 😩It's known as the Toxic 10 and is often discussed on here. It's actually a physiological process we all go through, whatever distance we run. The distance, however does get easier, I promise! Good luck!πŸ™‚
