W8R3 done !

[Badrun]

Just finished! Crikey that was tough but feels sooooo good !

Just one week left. Still having calve problems despite frantic amounts of rollering, dynamic and static stretches and water and now potassium supplements 😂😂. Will my body finally catch up with my enthusiasm ever lol. Taking it nice and steady (as I have no other choice !) Looking forwards to the final week now ....

Does anyone leave two days between runs ie/run on a Monday then a Thursday ? Is this allowed. Seems to give my legs time to recover

Happy Easter everyone !!!

[Monkeiishnaa Graduate]

Leaving two days sometimes worked well for me. Hope your calves stop hurting. Week 9 was more fun than week 8 for me as I liked seeing the finish line in my sights. Good luck!

Not far for us .... am really happy to be near the finishing line ! Your time is amazing !

Congratulations on almost completing C25K, well done, onwards and upwards to week 9, I wish you the very best for your graduation run 🏃🏾 😊.

[Badrun Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Have just read your profile cos I’mNosey haha. Wow!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Badrun]

Not nosey at all Badrun, there is no harm on looking at other people's profile, I looked at yours, you could tell us a little more about yourself, but particularly regarding your sporting activities and what you do regarding exercise, you don't need to tell us your age unless you want to, once again congratulations on almost completing C25K,

Well done. Not many left to go now. I'm at the same point and feeling excited for the final week. We can do it!!

I ran Monday Wednesday Friday only for most of the weeks which has worked fine for me. Took an extra day off (3 day break) a couple of weeks ago as I'd had my jab and felt like I needed it. Then did 5 alternate days but again then felt like I needed a "weekend". For me it's the routine that keeps me going, bank holidays are getting on the way a bit but planning to finish back on my favourite days.

Good luck!

Whoop not long ! I just don’t want to stress my calves too much because they get unbelievably tight. CNt wait for gait analysis !

[LesleyLiv Graduate]

We do three runs a week and fit them around other stuff, so sometimes there is a day off between two runs and then two days off before the last. As long as I can get the runs in I’m happy.

[Skyblueandblack Graduate]

I'm running W9R1 tomorrow. Beyond having to take a break due to impact injury at the end of W4 and having to go back to W2. I got into the routine of running Monday, Wedneday and Friday.I am finding that my calves are begining to tighten up towards the ends of the longer runs. But touch wood. Post run static stretches ease them completely

[Badrun Graduate in reply to Skyblueandblack]

Glad it’s not just me ! They seem fine after the stretching and rollering but hit pretty bad again on these longer runs I’m sure they will get better as time goes on. (Hopefully!)

[branders1974 Graduate]

You're so nearly there!!! I've been doing early on a Sunday morning so I face the unknown with the least amount of bystanders 🤣 then Tuesday and then two days off so can finish on the Friday on a high with a bit more energy.

[Badrun Graduate in reply to branders1974]

Sounds like a plan ! Esp then bystanders bit 😂

[branders1974 Graduate in reply to Badrun]

[Loumcc83 Graduate]

I’m at excatly the same wk& run as you. I’ve ran today & dont run until wed again.

I’m always did this & it works really well for me.

Well done! we are nearly there 🎉

[Badrun Graduate in reply to Loumcc83]

I think Wednesday will be my next one too ! We might graduate the same day ! So exciting but strangely sad it’s nearly done too. Weird

[Loumcc83 Graduate in reply to Badrun]

I hope to finish on Sunday. Yes I feel the same. 😞 Good luck this week!
