I can't believe it but I have done it. Not yet at 5K but 30 minutes of exercise is an amazing achievement for me. What do I do now?

The running world is your oyster... use the months or so of consolidation to really think about where you want to go with your running. Common goals are

- achieve 5k if C25K didnt get you there

- very simple, just extend 1 of your runs a little bit each week by a few minutes - don;t worry about pace

- improve your 5k times

- extend to 10k and beyond

(see the bridge to 10K forum and @ju-ju- 's 10k plan)

... but there are also Bridge to 10K or 5-10k apps available.

- start going to Parkruns (when they start up again)

But first... consolidate and that means 3x 30mins per week for a month or so. ... and there's a club for that too . Mummycav is your gal :-)

And don't forget the 3 excellent supplementary C25K+ podcasts: Speed, Stamina and Stepping Stones - they're great to keep you motivated in the meantime.

Hope that helps.
