Congratulations runnjngonempty2020! 🙌🏽🎓 Your pace was very speedy! Well done for carrying on to complete 5k too! Looks like you’re a natural! 🏆💥

So many running Apps out there! Best to trial a couple and see what you like best. I use NRC Running App! I still like guided runs and the range of choices is great for me. ❤️

Congratulations!! 🎉👏🙆‍♀️ and impressive stats too! 😯👍

I'm on w6 r3 tomorrow, so hopefully I'll graduate next month 😁

Woo hoo!! Congratulations 🥳 I reused W9 a few times while consolidating and then tried Nike Run Club. That has some good guided runs.

I’ve also downloaded Zombie Run for a change but haven’t tried it yet 🌸😊🌸

Thanks for all the support and helpful suggestions folks! Very much appreciated. I think 3 x 30min runs for the next few weeks is in order.

I still want guided runs but I might try a new app. NRC and MapMyRun seem to be the market leaders. Any thoughts on either of these and which one I should go for?

Quick update...

My first first post-C25K run went well. I decided to listen to W9R3 again and will probably keep this up for another few weeks. I still haven't quite made 5K in 30 mins but I'm OK with that for now.

Q - I don't think there's necessarily a wrong answer to this but would be good to know people's thoughts.... should I keep the 30 min goal and aim to increase speed, or extend to say 32/34 mins and try to get to 5K that way?

Not what you're looking for?
