Very hot but managed to do the last 30 min run today covering 4.4K.

Only started running because of lockdown, Now hope to do 5k in about 35mins.

Any one who struggling stick with the plan it works.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 9 and graduating from C25K, to run 35 minutes for a 5K is very good.

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE 🎓 next to your username leave a message in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked July C25K graduation home page and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated 🎓 🏃🏾 👍

It won't be long before you can run a sub 35 minute 5K 🏃🏾 👍.

[Addis43]

Well done! I’m starting my first run tomorrow and your post is giving me the motivation to get out there so thank you!

[stevecfc Graduate in reply to Addis43]

Thanks, The hardest part is starting, also because of my age, i always had at least 2 days rest

between Jogs, which worked well for me as i never failed a run. good luck and go for it.

[Ruby69 Graduate in reply to stevecfc]

That’s interesting and helpful. I’m 68 and finding I need more than 1 days rest not helped by squeezing in a walk of 6km😬😊

[stevecfc Graduate in reply to Ruby69]

Glad to help Ruby, I just thought as we get older we need more time to recover.

It worked for me, don't over do it with the walking as well

[Addis43]

You are right about it being hard starting! I didn’t start until last night but I did it and really enjoyed it! I will take your advice about the rest days too. Thanks x

[stevecfc Graduate in reply to Addis43]

Now you have, keep going, it's worth it. good luck.

[Addis43 in reply to stevecfc]

Thanks very much. All the best x

[Lindacarole Graduate]

Wow well done, I did my first run of week 5 today so a way to go yet. But enjoying it.

[stevecfc Graduate in reply to Lindacarole]

Thanks, if you feel like stopping on a run, just push through, your be glad you did.

Good Luck.

[Coops31]

Wow, that’s great! You run faster than me and I’m only 38! Was determined to do 5k today. Took me nearly 40 mins 😩

[stevecfc Graduate in reply to Coops31]

Thanks a lot, well done on the 5K, don't worry about other people, just think how far

you have come, I couldn't run to the top of my street a few months ago
