Graduation w9 r3

Love this app and the amazing support offered by this forum. Really helped me along the way especially when I really wanted to give up. Never thought I could run for 30 minutes. Think I am a bit short of the 5K but hopefully I can try and build up my speed over the next few weeks. Any advise on what to do next would be most grateful. I feel a bit apprehensive about ‘going solo’ without the app to guide me along.

Congratulations on completing and graduation from C25K 🎓 🏃🏾 👍

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

With your running coach for run 3 of week 9 you can run several 30 minute consolidation runs before you think of what you want to do next, you can try the Stepping stones podcasts with Laura which are pace, speed and stamina then you can do Ju Ju's Magic 10 plan if you want to run a 10K.

Thank you so much. It is an achievement isn’t it. Looking back to week 1 when I struggled to run for 60 seconds. It’s amazing!!

Ditto- a minute doesn’t sound much ... until you try it! I couldn’t believe how hard it was 🙈🤣

Congratulations it feels great doesn't it? I have to admit to me the amount of time I am running for is more important to me than the distance I can cover, right at the start the very short runs were the challenge now we can do 30 minutes, it great.
