Today I am finally a graduate! I had a lovely run this morning and managed a full 5k too! My legs felt like lead on the last 5mins but listening to Jo spurred me on and I felt so emotional (hormones donβt help π)
I honestly canβt believe that 9 weeks ago I was literally a couch potato and now I can run 5k! This program is actually magic!
Thank you to everyone on this forum - I read it before and after every run for inspiration or advice and I canβt express enough how much it has helped me! ππ»
Whatβs next for me? Well ....... Iβm going to repeat week 3 for a few more weeks until I can do it comfortably and then Bridge to 10K! ππ π€π»π€π»
Thanks again all βΊοΈβΊοΈβΊοΈβΊοΈ

Interesting that you are going to repeat week 3, that is the shortest workout of C25K, it is also the week that some runners, including myself restart after a short break from running.
Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 9 and graduating from C25K π ππΎ π

OK but if you do have a short break from running week 3 is a good week to resume, in a way you do repeat week 9, after graduation runners run several 30 minute consolidation runs before they think of what to do next, you can try the C25K + Stepping Stones podcasts with Laura which are pace, speed and stamina, after that you could do Ju Ju's Magic 10 plan if you want to run a 10K.
