Week 9 completed!

[Cassie_7]

I cannot believe it! 9 weeks ago I started couch to 5k and have now finished run 3 of week 9. I feel so much better physically and mentally. It was challenging to get out when it was very cold and rainy but I always felt better for going out for a run. Rest days are very important. Thanks so much to Jo Wiley, the admins on this site and all the fellow runners on here for all of their excellent advice, tips and encouragement ❤️

well done girl 🙌🏼🏃‍♀️😁 I also graduated Friday and had a repeat run yesterday which is what I will stick with 3 times a week it’s still challenging tbf but addictive feel so happy after a run. Keep up the good work and enjoy 😊

Many thanks! Yes I always feel so much better after a run. I will be repeating week 9 as it is good to know it is timed, rather than constantly checking watch/phone.

congratulations that’s great! It’ll be nice to run in the summer weather now!

[Cassie_7 Graduate in reply to MatthewR]

Many thanks, it was a challenge getting out at times in the strong headwinds here and all the rain but finally we are getting some warmer weather in the day at last ☀️

I’ve just done Run 1, Week 1 so that was a wonderful first post to read. Congratulations!

[Cassie_7 Graduate in reply to Fairycake16]

Many thanks it certainly is an achievement for me, I couldn't run for a bus 9 weeks ago 😂 and I got really tired doing the garden or washing the car...now it's so much easier. Keep it up, it is well worth it and over time you will feel fitter and stronger. Remember to take rest days to recover and do not worry about running fast or comparing yourself with others.
