Omg.... I did it!!!!

[Jessidan]

Today was W9 R3, I have completed all the previous runs on a treadmill in my garage.

I decided to run this final one with my friend who has already completed C25K.

We decided to run it in a local park. Wow.. what a difference, but we did it!!!! 🏃🏻‍♀️🙌🏻😁😁

Congratulations... and wow, graduation wouldn’t be the run I first went outside for... amazing job today. Celebrate well, enjoy some nice relaxed consolidation and all your future running adventures

[Jessidan in reply to UnfitNoMore]

It was a bit of a rash decision 🤣. But am so glad we did it.

Had I not been with my friend I would have given up for sure 🥴

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Jessidan]

It’s very different... but hey, you can do it! Took me a long while to get used to the opposite transition, I could run 2 hours outdoors and my best on the treadmill was still 5 minutes 🤣

[Jessidan in reply to UnfitNoMore]

😂

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate]

Well done! I swapped from the treadmill to outside at Week 5 and found it much more tiring. To complete 30 minutes straight off is, in my opinion, amazing! I love running outside now. I did my 30 mins on the treadmill today because of the rain and I nearly died of heat and boredom 😂😂

Congratulations!

[Jessidan in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Thank you so much, yes it was def much harder. I am cloud 9 to be honest 😁

[Suziemun in reply to Jessidan]

Well done you're an inspiration to the Wk1 R1 newbie x

[61Lady Graduate]

Congratulations 👏👏👏

Wow - how daring of you to move outside for your graduation run 🎓

Take time to celebrate your success and enjoy the fact that whether indoors or outside, you’ve got the measure of it 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Keep running, keep smiling.

Fab, thank you 😁

[Chime7875 Graduate]

This is brilliant to hear. I’m running on a treadmill and it’s so boring, but I just don’t have the confidence to get out there yet.

[Raisintoast75 in reply to Chime7875]

I have v little confidence but after weight loss surgery a year ago and now 6 stone lighter I run outside ( with my music and the app blaring loudly through my headphones) itis still scary but so rewarding once completed! If I can anyone can 😍😍😍🏃‍♀️

[Couchphoenix Graduate]

Congratulations Jessidan, 👏🏻👏🏻🏅🎉🎉 running outside is so much better, sounds like you’ll be outside for your Consolidation runs from now on 👍

[Banana12 Graduate]

Many many congratulations. I agree 100% with Frizzbomb. Outside running is way better. Although I’m ready for today’s run and I can see it’s very windy here. Yesterday? Torrential rain. Some days inside just works. Happy happy running Jessidan. You’ve got this 😇🥳

[PlymBorn]

Well done ! ... In not just completing C25K but going outside your comfort zone and completing your graduation run outside ! 👏👏👏

[mattymoo33]

Fabulous, well done!! I can't wait to get there 🏃🤸😊

[Sabrina77 Graduate]

well done! Nice way to complete the podcast. Did you find the run harder outside or on the treadmill?

[Jessidan in reply to Sabrina77]

Def harder outside as have only been on the flat of the treadmill and the park had a few hills, hence the two beetroots by the end 😂🤣😂

[Nervousrunner Graduate]

Welcome out of the garage 😊

Fantastic .Congratulations on your graduation 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🏆🥇

Congratulations on summing up the courage to run outside👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Congratulations on completing your run, which you found so much harder than running on a treadmill. 🥳🥳👏🏼👏🏼🥳🥳👏🏼

You know what? No one is watching you. Those who briefly notice, think........Goodness I wish I could run. 😔

Congratulations...you are an all round champion and star🙌👏🏼🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[Chazoo in reply to Nervousrunner]

This! ❤️

[Jessidan]

Thank you so much 😊😊

[Dutch-Fraggle Graduate]

Congratulations ❤️ well done 🌟

[Lindy5k Graduate]

Brilliant! CONGRATS!I don't think I could run any of it on a treadmill. I need something to look at as I'm huffing and puffing XX

[Killerblue]

Congratulations especially with doing this outside when you’ve been used to a treadmill!! That can’t have been easy for you 👍👍🎉

[Daughter-of-Triton]

Congratulations 🥳 an inspiring story to someone who is about to start week 4 and is 4 stone overweight and wishing I could hide in my house on a treadmill. Keep it up 👍

[Jessidan in reply to Daughter-of-Triton]

I too am a few stone overweight 🥴

It was extremely slow, but I did it. Which means you can too 😀

[zinza]

I think you should leave the treadmill for autumn and winter. This beautiful weather deserves to be enjoyed.

Congrats and have a lovely day.

[Jessidan in reply to zinza]

Good idea Zinza 😊

[Basil_Cosmo Graduate]

Well done, congratulations!!!

[booksie Graduate]

Well that's simply amazing! Well done indeed!!

[Week7 Graduate]

Congratulations. Amazing feeling isn't it!

[IzzyMP Graduate]

Well done, you must feel great. It’s definitely harder running outside, so again well done. I went back to a treadmill on Saturday after months of running in the park. Found it annoying. Back to the park for me!

[TotalNewbie1 Graduate]

Brilliant congratulations 🥳🎉👏. Such an achievement going outside as well!

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate]

hey well done, bet you feel great!!!
