I forgot to start my Strava so added another couple of minutes to todayโs 30 minute run (getting cocky now ๐) so I managed to run a distance of 4.3k in 30 mins which Iโm happy with, not about speed for me, just about completing the 30 mins for now. 2 more to go ๐ค๐ป
week 9 run 1 completed: I forgot to start my... - Couch to 5K
week 9 run 1 completed
Way to go, you're doing great ๐ช. I'm planning on my week 9 run 1 this afternoon as it's not too hot ๐
Excellent.
Just 1 hour to graduation ๐
Getting very close now! You can start thinking about that celebrationโฆ
Slow, steady, safe and satisfying Love it!
Ooh, not long now! Exciting! ๐
Thank you ๐ Iโm excited as I only made it to week 9 run 2 last year - hoping all goes to plan this time ๐ค๐ป
Oh no, so close! What happened?
Had a huge anxiety attack the evening I was going to do my last run ๐ข really took it out of me for a long time but Iโm back and feel fitter this time โบ๏ธ
Oh yes, I'm sorry - I remember you telling us now. How fantastic that you're back again and feeling fitter. You'll smash it! And we will be at the virtual finish line to cheer you over. You're obviously very committed to this running lark so it won't be your last run anyway - it'll be the first run of your new running life, as a graduate ๐๐
Thank you I canโt wait to post that last run ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ ๐ค๐ป Iโm looking forward to doing some consolidation runs and seeing if I can get to 5k in one go ๐๐ป
Yes, that's my next goal too!
Where are you up to since you graduated? Have you used an app to continue after ct5k? Iโve read about a Nike running app which sounds good. โบ๏ธ
I've done 5 graduation runs now. Several just listening to music, one listening to a podcast, one was a repeat of W9R3 because I missed Laura's countdown, and then I also tried the Nike Run Club app. There are loads of runs on there and quite a few 30 min ones. It was different, but interesting and I'll definitely do more.
What do graduation runs mean? I think Iโll start with a repeat of 30 mins but with a timer on my watch instead of ct5k and see how that goes but will also look into the Nike running app too, good luck and keep us updated with your running โบ๏ธ
Congratulations and well done ๐ Keep enjoying your running ๐โโ๏ธ
