My 3rd time graduating!

I completed my final run of week 9 today on the treadmill. I am delighted but run so much slower inside. My best distance outside is 4.25km this time. Still a bit away from 5km. I’m 58!

I’m hoping to run 5k. I managed 4.75 in 30 mins a couple of years ago and unfortunately had an injury.

Hoping to aim for 5k. I think someone told me to slow down a bit and run for longer! I’m averaging about 7.10k outside. Much slower on the treadmill! x

Well done Maggie-Moo! Try not to worry about the speeds when you are aiming for a longer distance - you’ll probably need to slow down to go further, then can work on cranking up the pace again once you are comfortable with running longer, if that’s what you want to do.

I love being outside, and if you run better outside, get outside! The nicer weather is coming…

Thanks. I managed to do a 35 minute run today with Steve Cram (beyond C25K) I was so busy concentrating on running 🏃‍♂️ that I couldn’t judge my speed to reduce by 20% for the first 10 mins!

I’ve progressed to Steve Cram 35 mins. I was so busy concentrating on running 🏃‍♀️ I couldn’t work out how to reduce my speed for the first 10 minutes! 😂
