[marshaeth Graduate]

Completed my C25K on Monday this week. Have been doing it as a weekly group with others and our graduation run was done indoors round an indoor tennis court thanks to the weather!

[MissUnderstanding Administrator On a break Graduate in reply to marshaeth]

Congratulations! What a brilliant achievement!!! 🎉👩‍🎓🏃‍♀️🥳🏅

I’m trying to figure out how many laps of that tennis court you must have done but it’s too early. Serving one very well earned badge to you!

[marshaeth Graduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

The group did the 5k for the last run, not 30 mins, so around 2 tennis courts it ended up being 50 laps! I did it in just under an hour, I'm very slow, everyone else finished much quicker 😆, they all cheered me on though, great support, it was great to do the 5k but I'm going back to 20 or 30 mins for a while now!

[MissUnderstanding Administrator On a break Graduate in reply to marshaeth]

Slow is good and thoroughly approve of your plan to stick at max 30 minutes! There are some great links posted by Instructor57 right at the start of the thread saying as much. Enjoy your celebrations!
