W9R3 - Graduated!

[MrWomble]

Haven't been on here for a while but I had to come back and share that I've now finally graduated! Everything came to a grinding halt in March when I came down with what I thought was flu but in retrospect was COVID-19. That knocked me back for quite a few weeks and then I had to ease back into the training before I felt confident that I was well enough to continue.

But I've now completed the training and already completed a post-graduation run! Really chuffed to have got here! It really didn't seem possible when I first started all those months back and now here I am - running 30 mins no problem and owner of trainers and running gear!

Thanks to everyone on the forum and the wonderful mods for being so supportive on this journey. Especially when I was starting out and trying to make this a habit, the support and encouragement on this forum was absolutely invaluable.

My goals from here are to up the distance to 5km and then work on improving my speed, I'm still pretty slow.

Congratulations on two fronts - recovering from Covid and making a running comeback to graduate C25K!!! Sounds like you have a good plan going forwards but do check out the Consolidation Club. Lots of good suggestions there. Enjoy the journey to 5k - I'm not there yet either as Ive just been cruising along gently since graduation. 🥳🥇🎉🎖🎊

[MrWomble Graduate]

Thanks Fionamags, will definitely check out the Consolidation Club - I could do with some guidance on how best to proceed with my training from here.
