My next run the day after tomorrow is the start of week 9! Ahhh! I’m so excited and determined to keep going. I am pleased I’ve consistently kept this going every other day for 8 weeks and have only taken a break during one run when I had a stitch. When I first started Couch to 5K, I was actually planning to just go up to week 6 because I never thought I could get this far. Any tips for W9? & For anyone reading this who just started -YOU CAN DO IT! I was out of breath running for 3 mins when I first started.

Congratulations on almost completing C25K with only the 3/30 minute runs of week 9 left for you to run, any tips, just keep running the way you have been, slow and steady, drink plenty of water, especially now with the warmer weather, most people are more nervous about running run 3 of week 5 than doing the longer runs of weeks 8 and 9, apart from the slight possibility of something going wrong when running run 3 of week 9, by then you have already ran 5 long runs of weeks 8 and 9, good luck for your graduation run. 🏃🏾 👍
