Completed week 9 run 1 this morning and managed to get 5k in! Found a new route which was really enjoyable. Wish I'd found this forum earlier as some of the comments are so useful but I just wanted to say, if you find some of the runs hard, don't give up! I felt like that around week 5 and 6 but am so glad I didn't. I'm now starting to think about what comes next after the end of this week to keep me going, I find the whole momentum of completing 3 a week on here really helpful - have signed up to strava for some of their challenges but if anyone has any other ideas I'd like to hear them.
Week 9!: Completed week 9 run 1 this morning and... - Couch to 5K
Week 9!

That's brilliant. I remember the wonderful feeling where you move from doubt to believing you will actually complete the program.
Lots if people wobble at the end point and this is a great place to be to get support while you decide 'what next'. We run a consolidation club for new graduates - here's a link to the May post healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
There is also a FAQ post for new graduates in the pinned posts, full of ideas. Good luck, and here's to your graduation 👍
