Graduated several weeks ago and have had some gremlins in my ear set backs but today reached 5k at last. Took me 41 minutes but it’s not a race and I am chuffed to bits with that! Feeling fabulous! 😁💪
Banished the gremlins and reached 5k - Couch to 5K

First of many. It won't be long before you do 5k midweek and longer at the weekend. That's when I realised "I can actually run now" - and I'm still slower than you!

Congratulations. The first one feels so nice.
Don’t lose focus at this point though, finishing C25k is just the start and keeping it going afterwards is equally mentally hard in a different way. The achievement for the next couple of months isn’t speeding up or running longer, it’s keeping going out every week and avoiding injury.
