How to keep going after the app? Any other apps to keep you going?

So last night I did it ! Run 3 of 9weeks felt great to follow through but I was disheartened not to run 5k ...I will continue and hope to get there I manage 3.2k x really hope I get there - does anyone have tips to try and get faster or does it just take time ...I seem to get into a rhythm about 20mins in ...

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 9 and graduating 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 September graduation C25K home page and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated 🎓 🏃🏾

After several 30 minute consolidation runs you could try the Stepping stones podcasts with Laura which are pace, speed and stamina, those could help you get a little faster with your running.

Congratulations on graduating! I bet your thrilled! I'm still a couple of weeks off but your question is one that has been on my mind because I really enjoy the app. The coaches just seem to chip in at the right time to give you a boost 🙂

If you get into a good rhythm with your breathing it helps, take a nice deep breath in then purse your lips slightly as you breath out, so you exhale slightly slower.....it works for me anyway. Try the Nike Run Club app, guided runs as on C25k, but you pick which one you’d like to do, there are lots of various ones including a 4K, which might be a good one to get you closer to 5k 👍
