Post couch to 5k life

[Yorkshirefatgirlslim]

I have just completed week 9 run 1 (arghh so proud - can't quite believe this overweight lump has managed it!) and I am not quite making 5k yet in the time. What have you all done post couch to 5k app? I quite like the voice in my ear telling me what to do. Any 5-10k app recommendations? Any tips for improving pace and maintaining this as a new healthy lifestyle for life?

When you announce your graduation I will send you a link to a guide to post C25k running.

If you cannot wait, it is sitting in the FAQ Posts, which you will find in the Pinned Posts.

Have a look at the 3 excellent supplementary C25K+ podcasts: Speed, Stamina and Stepping Stones.

So... the running world is your oyster... Common goals are

- improve your 5k times

- extend to 10k and beyond (see our 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
