C25K complete 😍

[Hforrun]

Yay, completed C25K today 😀. 30 minutes 34 seconds. So pleased I went back to these pods to get back to running regularly. I injured my knee 18 months ago and due to lock down decided to try again. First 2 runs were terrible, then I remembered I used C25K several years ago after bursitis. Can’t thank everyone involved in this program enough! It’s fantastic, I’m 63 and thought my running days were over. Now to keep up the good work 😍

Many congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.

Keep running, keep smiling, said the 64 year old who has just redone the plan after a knee injury........take care.

Thank you, yes it’s not easy, but knee was just the same when not running so thought I might as well try again. I missed my running 😂

The knee strengthening exercises here nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/k... help build the surrounding muscles and can make a huge difference to all runners.

Thanks, I can’t open the link. It says it’s no longer available? Really interested in this. I tried before but couldn’t open it. I do some knee exercises at the moment.

Thank you. Very pleased with myself though the last 5 mins was tough. I think it will take a while to feel comfortable running for 30mins. 😊

[Buzzybeeze Graduate in reply to Hforrun]

Yes, I know what you mean about feeling comfortable. The great thing is though, is that you now know you can do it, and you’ve proved that to yourself. I’m sure we’ll all have good runs and tough runs going forward, but the important thing is that we keep running! I’m proud of you, and everyone who takes on, and battles through the physical & mental challenge of C25K, it’s truly inspiring.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very well done, that’s a great time too! I’m 61 so understand how you feel - it’s great that we can still do this, isn’t it? Onwards and upwards!
