I did it! This morning run 3 week 9 😁😁Not only that but I made it to 5k! I will be honest and say I didn't do it in the 30mins 😬😬 I did keep running all the way through the warm down to get there!

Congratulations on completing C25K HailSt0rm . You made me laugh with your just in time before 40 comment too, as it'll be three years ago tomorrow that I started C25K, aged 59!

Thanks! I'm by no means the oldest starter or continuing runner round here though, there are a fair few a decade or more older.

Congratulations! It feels great , doesn’t it? You definitely don’t need to do 5k in 30 mins! Everyone has their own pace. Happy birthday!

Congratulations on graduating! What an achievement. I very much approve of celebrating with cake, especially if you’re so close to your birthday. It would almost be rude not to! You must be so proud of yourself, especially with ticking off the 5k milestone as well πŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€οΈπŸ’ͺπŸ…πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“πŸŽ‰

Don’t forget to request your graduate badge by dropping Instructor57 a line on this thread here….

There are loads of useful links there too about where you might go next. The main thing is to celebrate!

Good luck for you parkrun. My top tip is to beware being caught up with the speedy speedsters and the atmosphere of running with others. It’s wonderful but it can make you go off like a rocket and then run out of puff. Keeping it steady to start with is a good strategy.

Brilliant! It will be good to mix up your runs a bit now - carrying on running for 30 minutes with the odd shorter run thrown in. Good luck.
