One year since graduation

A year ago today I completed C25K.

I’ve run 196 runs since covering a distance of 973km. ( this would be 1000+ if we hadn’t been so exercise restricted in Melbourne in 2020 )

Some highlights

Running my first 10k

Jeffing my first 10miles

Signing up to run down under. I’m due to finish in 2030 😂

Being able to keep to a low heart rate on all my weekday runs.

Running a faster 5k at Park run once a week. Today I ran a Park run PB 31.16 with my splits at 6.40, 6.31, 6.13, 6.06, 5.50.

Still hoping for a sub 30 one day.

Half marathon doesn’t feel out of reach.

I’m so thankful for C25k which started my love of running ❤️🏃‍♀️

Congratulations on your first runniversary of graduating from C25K, well done, well done also on your parkrun time this morning, note, all negative splits, I am sure you will soon be able to run a sub 30 minute 5k.
