Never thought I would be graduating, but here I am. Now to get from 3km to 5km is next target. This is a wonderful community and very supportive.

Let me know what you did to improve when you graduated.

Thanks 😊

Well done πŸ‘

I kept repeating week 9 for a while, then moved onto a bridge to 10k app, as I really needed the structure.

I signed up to do a charity 5k yesterday. I only finished the programme last week and at 30 minutes I was around 2.7miles. I completed just over 5 k yesterday in 34 minutes. I just kept my pace slow and concentrated. However I feel it today and feel achy and stiff. Not sure I will keep it up and might just drop back and do incremental increases in case I injure myself. I can only suggest you to know your limits and go at your pace?

I’ve been doing more of the 40mins runs this month to consolidate and plan to then gradually build up time (slowly) until I hit my target of 5k. I think the consolidation runs were important for me.

Well done you!! I graduated couple of weeks ago but the advise on here is to consolidate what you have learnt! So just run for 30 mins 3 times a week and don’t worry about the distance it’s a matter of finding your runners legs. I am currently running/walking 100 miles in the month of May for my local hospice so I have something to keep me going. So would definitely set yourself a challenge or goal but mostly just enjoy the fact you can keep it going πŸ₯³

Well done NewfoundlandπŸ‘ I kept on aiming for 5k, and once I managed it, repeated it over and over in different locations. I am further on now, but 5k is still my 'go to' run. Whatever you do, good luck with it and enjoy your dayπŸŽ‰

Good luck and enjoy your running journey!
