HOOZAH! W9R3 COMPLETED!!

[Scrumpybumble]

I’m so pleased and chuffed with myself! It feels like the first time I’ve been successful at a challenge I’ve set myself without coming up against difficult situations or difficult people! I’ve enjoyed every moment and feeling the positive changes in my mental and physical health has been extraordinary. I decided to run 5k for my last run which I did - but it took me 43 minutes! But I ran continuously. When Saanj said ‘push past the Pain’ I was tempted to shove my partner, who is one, into the reservoir and chug on by but resisted the urge. So now my new aim is 3 runs each week working towards the 30 minute 5k. This programme is amazing for support and advice so THANK YOU for helping me achieve what seemed unbelievable 9 weeks ago!!

You deserve to be very chuffed with yourself, congratulations on completing run 3 of week 9 and graduating from C25K, you look so happy in that photograph, remember to tell the administrators that you have graduated from C25K, after that you will see the word Graduate next to your username 😊 🏃🏾 🎓

Be careful with run planning......... you just exceeded the 10% rule, used by most experienced runners to increase their weekly training load.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Well done! 👍

You're best consolidating at the 30 minutes mark for a few weeks before trying to extend the duration/distance.

Well done Scrumpybumble! I am so pleased for you. It’s such a great feeling isn’t it?! Great photo, keep up the brilliant work 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆.

[Rennur Graduate]

Well done. My first target is a sub 43 minute 5K. You almost did it first time out! Keep to 30 minutes for a bit longer and then you'll be ready to increase the time on one run per week. Go and have an Easter Egg!

[Football_mum Graduate]

Yay! Huge congratulations to you. Super achievement. I'm a week (and a run) behind you so thank you for all your inspiring posts that I've been following on my journey so far. Good luck with your next steps and happy running!

[Badrun Graduate]

Amazing !!! I’ve two runs to go. Eek

[Scrumpybumble Graduate in reply to Badrun]

Good luck! It’s just excellent isn’t it? My legs are aching tonight so I’m going to follow the advice and spend a few weeks doing 30minutes. Hope your runs go wonderfully and the weathers good! X
