I did it!!🤩

So around 6 weeks later and I am a graduate 🤩. I didn’t always take the rest days at the beginning as I just wanted to get it done! Feeling so proud of myself and still shocked that I can actually run for so long! Onto the next goal of 10k🤩🎉 (although that one may take me a while haha)

Congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.

Please take rest days, even at this stage. It is not recommended for new runners to run on consecutive days until they have a minimum of six months regular running on their legs.

When you run, the impact creates microtears in your muscles, which repair and strengthen on your rest days, not while running. Without rest, repair and strengthening are compromised and injury risk increased.

You get away with it until..................you don't, and then you may not run (or walk) for days, weeks or even months.

Take care.

Keep running, keep smiling

Well done. Fabulous achievement. I hope to be feeling the same by the end of next week.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 9 and graduating from C25K, not advisable to run on consecutive days until you have been running for over 6 months as that could cause a injury.
