First Run after 1 Week Graduation

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 πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ™β£οΈ.

πŸπŸŽ‰πŸ‘β­οΈIncredibly well done for completing the programme! Here is a link to receiving your badge!

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

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

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

Happy shopping πŸ‘
