Life after Couch to 5K??

This is it, I'm going into Week 9 - I've never quit on any run so far, though I did repeat Week4 as I didn't feel ready to move on - since then, onwards and upwards. HOWEVER, I am feeling ridiculously nervous about it all ending. I really need that voice in my ear pushing me on. Are there any recommendations for what to do after its all over?

Worth taking a look here !

It will give you some ideas.

If you like the audio prompts while your running you could as has been mentioned, carry on and use week 9 on the c25k app or have you checked out Nike running club app ?

It has various run options with guides and prompts throughout your runs !

Well done with your progress.

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.

Well done! No reason why you shouldn't repeat week 9 while you're consolidating. I like the runs on the Nike running club app. Coach Bennett is very knowledgeable, but he's not everybody's cup of tea.

I have continued to use the app with my own music just because I feel I need to respond to the prompts. I think I would slowly start to drop runs if I didn't listen to the app. After I graduated I changed to Laura just for a different voice. Not sure I will stop using the app as I only want to run for half an hour 3 times a week.

Thank you for the feedback. It sounds like a good idea to me. I find the prompts quite motivational x
