First Run after 1 Week Graduation

[Boltess1]

Thank God, I made it this far. I've never been a runner, jogger or even walk runner and proud that I've completed the C25K.

I started out with a friend who completed it during Lockdown but 4 weeks in, she sprained her ankle partying. So I continued for the remaining 5 weeks on my own with a fab playlist.

I graduated on schedule last Wednesday in style, not, but I did it.

Didn't make it to 5k but that's the next step.

This morning was a struggle and it was probably my slowest run todate and I just lacked motivation. I managed 35 minutes with ease but need to step it up and shall tune in again next week.

Thank you for the great posts, really encouraging 🙌👏🏻🙏❣️.

Don’t try increasing time or distance too soon. You need to consolidate now in order to build up strength & stamina.. another link coming to give your more information about this!

It’s hard to motivate oneself after being used to having a trainer in our ear! A good playlist can change that! Some people use apps like NRC and choose one of their 30 min guided runs after a few weeks of consolidation. Let us know or head over to our other forum for some motivation. It’s for anyone who has graduated from C25K

congratulations! 😀💪👍🏅

It’s traditional in these parts to treat yourself to a Graduation gift 🎁. New shoes anyone? 😁

Thank youu Misswobble 😘. Ooh, I like the idea of a treat, maybe a new sports bra 🤔 🙈🤣

good idea 💡😀👍🏃‍♀️

I noticed Lidl had them on offer last Thursday. My original one from there is my go-to.

Happy shopping 👍
