Hi Al

Thank you so much, I refer to you to my wife as my mentorπŸ‘¨β€πŸ«! Your advice has been sound and your encouragement has been a big motivator.

I've applied for my graduate badge and will print off the certificate (to show mum!)

Thanks again

I am very well thanks Cockneymick, guess what, tomorrow is the second anniversary of ME graduating from C25K, first thing in the morning I am going to run my 9th 10K to celebrate. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

Wow wow wow, fair play Al, as my mentor hopefully you can support me in achieving 10k πŸ€πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

I will but first of all after a few days off running, run several 30 minute consolidation runs, I ran six over a period of two weeks, after that you can try the Stepping stones podcasts with Laura which are pace, speed and stamina, then you can Google Ju Ju's Magic 10 plan if you want to run a 10K, it's not an app but it's a bit like C25K with a gradual increase week by week to eventually running a 10K.
