Graduated Today!!

It was a humid wet day with non stop drizzle. For some daft reason I felt apprehensive as it was my last run but nevertheless, I just got on and ran. Once I got in my stride everything felt ok and despite the drizzle, I managed to run 2.5 miles stripping out the warm up and cool down walks. Now I feel chuffed that I’ve completed to program and wish to thank Laura, my coach, and all the other coaches for that matter, for their encouragement. The C25K program works and I would encourage anyone to do it. I even remembered to take a photo before my run!!

Thank you. 🙂

[backintime Graduate]

Well done!

What's next? Will you carry on running?

[Hidden in reply to backintime]

Thank you! Next run Monday to consolidate all I’ve done over the last nine weeks.

[backintime Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Good choice! A few consolidation runs is great, I started to appreciate running a bit more during consolidation. It helps not to be pushing to increase time/distance for a couple of weeks (I did 3 weeks)

[PollyGray Graduate]

Thank you! I now have to consolidate all the effort I’ve put in and build upon it.

[mancrunner1 Graduate]

Congratulations, amazing effort! I have one more run left and I’m planning to keep listening to W9R3 during consolidation as I’ll miss Laura a lot!

[Hidden in reply to mancrunner1]

Thank you! I will consolidate my running before taking on 10k training and I too will miss Laura, she was inspirational! Good luck with your final run, you’ve cracked it too and keep 🏃‍♀️

[Hidden]

Well done Dave. I've been looking out for your post as we were both due to graduate today.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Alan, have you’ve graduated too I see. Very well done, I hope you had better weather than me. I had a humid run and it drizzled all the way round. Now to consolidate. Keeeep 🏃‍♂️

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Excellent! Excellent!

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

Thanks Tasha, I have to run Monday without Laura encouraging me. I’ll run the same route for a while to consolidate what I’ve done and build from there in a month or so.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I found it easy to run without the voice actually. But a watch is very useful to measure etc.

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

Yes, I use my watch and iPhone to check my times, and I’ve counted my steps per minute, I’m currently running at 168 steps per minute. I count every time my left foot hits the ground for 30 seconds (42 steps) then multiply that result by four which gives me my cadence of 168 steps a minute for both feet. It’s too difficult to count both feet for 60 seconds.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I wouldn’t worry about cadence. It is what it is. Get yourself a garmin and it’ll tell you everything you need 👍🏽

[Dups Graduate]

Congratulations 🥳🎉🥳🎉 You must be so thrilled. It’s a fabulous achievement 👏👏👏

[Hidden in reply to Dups]

Thank you! I have to run now without Laura’s support, which was great. The vocal support made the program perfect.
