I did it, Couch to 5k graduate 👩‍🎓

[Rainn1]

I am absolutely THRILLED to say that tonight I completed Couch to 5k 🏃‍♀️🤩🎉

I didn’t quite make it to 5k, so I kept on running for another 10 minutes and managed to do the 5k in 40 minutes. I’m absolutely over the moon!

The advice and support I’ve received here has really kept me going and I’ve loved reading the inspirational messages and stories of others completing it so thank you all! I really hope that I can be that inspiration to someone else.

I’ve gone from feeling so low about myself, constantly beating myself up with low self esteem and zero body confidence to being amazed at what I can achieve, proud of my body and its incredible adaptability and strength. I have been so determined to finish this and genuinely overcome so many mental barriers as well as physical. I’ve lost weight, my body is changing shape, and my mental health has improved so much.

If I can do it, anybody can!

Fantastic! Many congratulations! 😄👏👏👏

Now to join the consolidation club & plan the next part of your running adventure!

I celebrated graduation with a new playlist of favourite music & explored some new routes so consolidation felt a fresh running phase. 😄

Thanks for the tips! I’ll be over in the consolidation club this week. Have signed up to do a 10k in November - if it goes ahead that is - might be getting a bit ahead of myself 😂
