My little Easter chick is keeping a eye on proceedings…

I bet there were times through the programme when you thought you wouldn’t make it?? But you have and now is just the start of better things to come, the beginning of your running story!!

There’s a lovely shiny badge with your name on it waiting for you to claim…

This month it’s my privilege to pin your badge on for you…

★ Many congratulations for completing the 9 week Couch to 5K training programme! You can now run for 30 minutes continuously - you are a superstar!!!

I completed c25k today!! So happy I did it, the first time I had to give up at week 3 because of bad tendinitis so I’m really chuffed I managed it this time! I’m definitely going to continue and hopefully improve my endurance and stamina. I can honestly say this has been one of the best things I’ve ever done!

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate in reply toTikkaboo

yay!!!! Fantastic…that’s exactly how I feel about running, it’s def one of the best things I did too..& what a feeling when you finish that final run?! A feeling that will stay with you for a long time…your badge is shining nearly as bright as your smile…it’s been a lovely day here in Yorkshire for a run so I hope the weather was good to you too…

I did it ! 30 mins x 3 I did the final one on Monday. Not 5k just yet but I’ll get there over the next few weeks by adding a little every week. 4.5mph on a treadmill so I’ll increase the time and up the speed slightly as I go. So pleased 😀

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate

woo hoo! Congratulations 🥳 what an achievement! Don’t worry about the distance , the aim of the program is to get you running for 30 mins…and you’ve done that in style…you can work on your distance once you’ve consolidated or you can just enjoy what you’re doing and 5k might come naturally…well done you
