Week9Run3-

[Teresafaith]

Really didn't feel up to this today- on a real☹️before I started!- gave my arse a good kicking and I've now graduated. Only did 2.86 miles at 12.11 pace (that's pretty slow, yeah?) but the BIG PLUS was that I pushed on and ran for 35 minutes. I'm pretty impressed with the increase in my stamina and endurance, wish I could say the same for my pace! , but I'm pretty well pleased with getting this far. Amazing program - on to graduation runs and the 5k now.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Congratulations Teresafaith 👏🏻👏🏻🏅🥳🥳 you graduated in style too, with a final run of 35 minutes 💪🏻 that was some arse kicking you gave yourself 😂

I use the Nike Run Club app for consolidation runs, it’s ideal for those👍

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to Couchphoenix]

Great, I'll get a look at that, thank you.

Congratulations! 🏃‍♀🍾🏆🏁🏅

And a pace of 7'34"/km is perfectly respectable.

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to nowster]

Hell, how long is it gonna take me to get to THAT!!?? I don't understand this 'pace' thing, but I guess 12.11 is snails pace!

[nowster Graduate in reply to Teresafaith]

12'11"/mile is what you're doing. That's equivalent of 7'34"/km. I converted it.

2.86 mile is 4.6 km, too.

Pace is how long it takes you to cover a certain distance. It's the inverse of speed. The lower the pace time, the faster you are.

PS. Switch to metric. You know it makes sense. 😉

[Peter44 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Well done, bet your chuffed about that, and that's a pretty good pace too, wouldn't worry about being too slow, enjoy the moment, and good luck with consolidation! 👏👏👏

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to Peter44]

Thank you, I'm just pleased I got past the 30 minutes!!!

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to nowster]

Haha, I'm totally enlightened now - metric it is!! Thank you

[Hidden]

That’s brilliant Teresafaith, especially getting it done when you weren’t feeling like it, and a great distance for your graduation run, 🤩🥳👏👏👏💐🥂🎉 and not so slow, lots of us here take quite a while longer to reach 5k, enjoy your success, and keeeeeeeep running 🤗

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, I have to just keep going now - the support here is great!

[Hidden in reply to Teresafaith]

Keeping going is so worth it, take you time and enjoy 😊🤗

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you.

[GailXrunning Graduate]

Congratulations on graduation! 👏👏👏👏👏

Looks like a great position to be in, and you’ve also proved tenacity to continue through to success when the smilies are grumpy!!

Best wishes for the next phase.

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to GailXrunning]

Thank you - just gotta keep kicking my arse!- HARD!😱

[GailXrunning Graduate in reply to Teresafaith]

Hey, perhaps you need to add a foam roller to your self-torture plan? Gets right into the butt’s piriformus. (I had to look it up too!) 😂🤣

[Quick alert: I’m on a bit of a foam roller jag this evening 😬😲😜🤪😵🙀😱]

😉

[Teresafaith Graduate]

Have great fun with that, then!!🤑

[JetsNanna Graduate]

Well done on graduating. You should be very proud and you should certainly be chuffed with your pace - it is, in my humble opinion, much more than respectable. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to JetsNanna]

Thank you- I feel better now!- next challenge during graduation runs is to try and speed up even if it's just a teeny weeny bit. 😤

[Buddhagal Graduate]

Congratulations Graduate🏆🏆🏆and well done with the arse kicking. Your pace is impressive, believe me!!!!!👏👏👏👏....fab job. And you managed another 5 mins. Seriously...that's good going. Celebrate your success, you deserve to🥃🍾🍷🥂. 🦌🐢🐌🏃‍♀️🙋

[Teresafaith Graduate]

Thank you all SO MUCH for appreciating my 'kick arse' run!- I'm more pleased about the extra 5 mins than I am about completing the C25K, strangely enough!- gotta keep going with another app now!

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Woohoo! Very well done Tf. 😄Sorry but you don’t qualify as a snail- you are too fast!😂😄

(Don’t knock your pace, it’s very respectable. I am slower than you & would be very happy to scoot along at your speed.)

I made myself a new playlist of favourite music to celebrate graduation & explored some new routes- it made consolidation feel a fresh new phase. 😄

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Yes that's a good plan- going to find a different route and get different music up and running🤾‍♀️
