Many congratulationsβ¦. you must be really chuffed with your progress and rightly so!
Congratulations on your first 25 minute run ! ππ
Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, onwards and upwards to week 7 which are all 3 /25 minute runs, not long now until you graduate. π ππΎ
I am AlMorr.....I am a runner πββοΈ. And for my next 25 minute run, my son is coming with me. He's fast...5k in 17 minutes (ex marine) but he says he'll walkπΆββοΈ π
Thankyou instructor57 π you said I would enjoy it and I did, I really did. I think I can do this running thing πββοΈπ
Couldnβt agree more! Jog on! π€£π€£π€£
Thatβs my next run. Will be out early to do it tomorrow. Before work. Looking forward to the challenge.
Amazing isn't it. Be proud!
Slow and steady is perfect... well done you... maybe come and join us on Catch up Corner and post your success with it

I LOVE slow and steady
Well done. No more walk breaks from this point on.
All there is left to do is to gradually extend the time you're running. Week 7 is consolidating what you've already achieved, and weeks 8 and 9 provide that little bit of extra stretching.
Looking well ahead, just as week 7 keeps you at 25 minutes, after graduation you're best advised to keep at 30 minutes maximum for a few weeks. Most of your rapid progress over the last few weeks has been in developing and training muscles. The other parts of your legs don't adapt quite as quickly. A new runner can easily get injured by doing too much too soon.
Hi nowster. I'm like the π. Even in 25 minutes I barely cover 2.5K but that's fine by me. Just knowing I can and want to do this is enough for me. But, if I can keep running and maybe get to 5K by April next year that will be the icing on my birthday cake π π
Speed isn't what we're about here. Just being active for 20+ minutes three times a week will do wonders for your general health.
I did do 5km in 30mins on my graduation run. I also injured my ankle with a sprain on both sides of the same foot. One star, would not recommend.
Congratulations and well done you wi be so surprised at the progress you make as you go through the programme. Good luck for the rest of your journey.
Well done so far,keep it up
It's amazing isn't it!? I still look back and think about how I was worried about moving from 60 secs to 90 secs in week 2!
I amazed myself RunDone. Not in my wildest dreams when I decided to give this a go did I think I would get to this point. But there's so much inspiration on this forum, it set me up to succeed. I'm hooked....I always look forward to my next session.
it really really does work and the feeling is great
Well done Jane and congratulations! You did what I done yesterday, slow and steady. And yes I even thought the same thing this Couch to 5k really does work!!!
