Feeling sense of achievement

Never thought I would be writing this when I started by couch to 5k. I was superb at the couch part of the journey and couldn’t run for a minute. Now after circa 7 months of challenges and most importantly enjoyment I have ran 100km in one month, with a day to spare. Good luck on your journey and keep going, you will achieve what you want

Magnificent achievement, it's a great benchmark to go on to bigger and better things EngFan, since you've left that couch perhaps the below is for you 🙂

Absolutely, I’m starting to wonder what more is possible. I am sure lots but key for me will be the enjoyment and the fantastic associated health/well being benefits

Well done on your 100km in a month EngFan !

Lots more is indeed possible, if that's what you want. I can personally vouch for the magic of the Magic Plan recommended by Hidden . Why not pop over to the Bridge to 10k forum and take a look? :)

Well done. I have mastered the couch bit as well but I am no where near 100Km in a month or even 2 months!

Thank you and much appreciated. The distance is just an arbitrary number or challenge rather it’s the smile at the start and the end that really counts.

I definitely have a smile at the end, not sure about the start! 😁
