1st run post graduation

[JetsNanna]

So I braved it and did my first ‘unaccompanied’ run - no C25K app with Laura talking through the run. I just had my playlist and a timer on my phone. And I did it! I only went and did it!

What a feeling! Still not a 5k’er but I have another 30 minute run under my belt 😊

yes, the first postgrad run is fantastic, such a feeling of freedom!

Keep on enjoying your running

Thank you. I have got the running bug. I’m still embarrassingly slow but I get such a sense of achievement every time I finish a run. I hope I never lose that. Btw - you too 😊

[Newbie59 Graduate in reply to JetsNanna]

No such thing as embarrassingly slow, ha ha! It's two months since I graduated and I am still just going out doing the 30 minute run twice a week, still not run a 5k, but not at all worried

Well done.! Think i may try this approach on my next run.Think i need to find a timer with a bell every 10 mins🤣keep going x

[Smile23 Graduate]

Btw what breed is your cute companion (jet?)

[JetsNanna Graduate in reply to Smile23]

Toy poodle. He’s his Nanna’s best boy 😍

[Smile23 Graduate in reply to JetsNanna]

Gorgeous used to have one many years ago. My current monster os a poodle/yorkie cross. Just as intelligent but terrier trouble mixed in🤣

Well done JetsNanna 👍 try the Nike Run Club app, you get a wide choice of runs varying in time and distance and coach Bennett is great, it works same way as C25k, you use your own playlist and he guides you through the run you choose with great tips and encouragement.....it’s free too 👍

[JetsNanna Graduate]

I will give it a try. I downloaded the app last night. I’ll try it on Wednesday. Thanks for the advice 😊
