Finished !

[Hammer17]

Graduated last night, so had chips and saveloy to celebrate 😐 absolutely thrilled with myself. Didn’t manage to do the 5k but did 4K.

My next goal will be to do the whole 5k in 30 minutes.

Good luck everyone doing this. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for my health, and I say that as an ex smoker xx

Well done 👍 4K is more than OK in my book!!

[Hammer17 in reply to Maurs12]

Thank you ! Now just have to work out what to do next . 3 runs a week for 4/5 k or 6 runs a week of 3k

[Maurs12 Graduate in reply to Hammer17]

I run 4 to 5K every other day since graduating in August and go walking on the rest days as I would worry about injuries running every day. The world is your oyster now, runner!

[Hammer17 in reply to Maurs12]

That makes sense

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Many congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Well done!! I did 4k on my graduation run too. I have slowed down since to keep my heart rate lower so still take about 37 minutes to do 5k but I can run 7k without feeling like I will collapse. I am concentrating on building stamina, then I will think about speed

[Hammer17 in reply to Maz1103]

7k ! Remember the first run ? I thought I was dying after 60 seconds

[Maz1103 Graduate in reply to Hammer17]

Same... I went with my fit 20 year old daughters who kindly slowed down for me but I wanted to vomit after 60 seconds 🤢. I can't believe I can now run for 53 minutes!!!!

[Hammer17 in reply to Maz1103]

Haha I remember the vomiting bit , 53 minutes is amazing

[Hammer17]

Oh forgot to say, I’ve lost a stone since starting

[Maz1103 Graduate in reply to Hammer17]

Brilliant... I am a couple of pounds heavier!!!! 🤔🤔

[Hammer17 in reply to Maz1103]

Haha it’s obviously muscle

[Maz1103 Graduate in reply to Hammer17]

Not too worried. Fitter and a bit leaner. And can get away with a bit more 😂🐽🐽

[Hammer17 in reply to Maz1103]

Saveloys !

[Maz1103 Graduate in reply to Hammer17]

Thank you

[TotalNewbie1 Graduate]

Congratulations on your run and I think 4K is good in that time. Also well done on the weight loss. You must, and should be, super chuffed with your achievement.

Well done on completing C25K. Programmes great isn't it. When I finished back in July I too was able to do 4k. I really wanted to achieve the 5k in 30 mins. Since then I've built up the running and have reached 10k in 1 hr 7 mins and 12k in 1hr 20 mins which I'm so pleased with but still not able to do 5 k in sub 30mins!! Certainly getting there at 33 mins but going faster clearly is not my thing or perhaps one day it will. It just can take a long time. Good luck

Enjoy your 🏃.

[Hammer17 in reply to Tillybeach]

Thank you, 10k wow !
