I assume the OP ran for significantly longer than 30 minutes to complete those 7k!

Well done on completing C25K ChilP .

There's a link to post-C25K running somewhere, and another for your graduate badge. Someone else will arrive with details soon I'm sure!

It's a good idea to consolidate for a few weeks by continuing to run 30 minutes, or maybe a bit less - mix up your runs - three times a week.

Even if you did 7k today, it's not advisable to keep doing more right now, you're likely to get injured. Better to take things slowly and gradually.

Happy running!

Congratulations on completing the program .

I have awarded your badge .

Your post title asks "Where next"

I would suggest going back to 30 minute runs to consolidate and not taking the risks of injury by running longer or faster otherwise "Where next" could easily be the injury couch.

Take a look at this post for running after C25k.

Thank you, that's very kind. I'm only just getting back into running after a faceplant a couple of weeks ago, so I've had too much time on my hands.

Hope you're doing OK? 😀
