I’ve just seen this! Welcome back Sparky and really well done on the second time around 🎉🎈💪🙂

[sparky66 Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Oh my goodness..hello Irish princess so nice to see you here 🥰 how are you 😘

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to sparky66]

Still hanging around but more on the other forums 🙂 as this one has got soooo busy which is brilliant to see. I’m too nosey to disappear 😂

I’m still running and still loving it 7.5 years from that first horrendous W1R1 😩 I can’t believe it myself but it’s now ingrained 🙄

But it’s just lovely to see a blast from the past. Keep posting Sparky and many congratulations to you once again 🥰 whoop whoop...

[nowster Graduate]

Congratulations! 🍾🏅🏆

In my second go through C25K recently I had Week 9 as 30min/31min/5km. However, I did do the completing 5km in 31½ minutes, meaning there wasn't a huge stretch in duration.

As long as you're used to doing the longer duration, that's fine, but I'd suggest an extra rest day before your next run or a much shorter run (as I did today) next time.

[sparky66 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Definitely an Extra rest day and will go back to consolidation runs for a couple of weeks x thank you

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]
