Well, I made it!

I want to share my success having completed Week 9, run 3.

The C25K programme has been tremendous for me and I do feel proud of my achievement.

Thank you for all your kind words, comments and advice along the way - all these have helped me to keep on going and to get through the programme. I’m a runner and feel like a runner, and intend to continue with some consolidation runs.

Having completed C25K on a treadmill, I plan to run outdoors over the festive season and I’ll post how I get on.

Thanks for reading this post.

You SHOULD feel proud - it's a heck of an achievement, well done! That 'Graduate' badge says 'proper runner' and I wish you well with your upcoming outdoor adventures. Running outside is different (I think it is loads better) and I look forward to learning of your progress👍.

Well done it's an amazing feeling to get there

I transitioned from treadmil to outside around week 7 what you may find hard at first is pacing yourself so go slower than you think you can first few goes.

It's the best thing I did the rhythmic motion was giving me knee pain which I've never had outside

again well done
