C25K completed 😁

[Xedweb]

Finished W9R3 - woohoo 🙌🥳

Aged 58, haven’t run since school in 1982. Just followed the programme (mostly!j - it works! Biggest issue has been remembering to slow down. Today was hard, because I was buzzing because it’s the end of the programme, and also it was warm in the sunshine (doesn’t happen often in Newcastle). But as well as hitting the 30 min mark I also hit 5K. Average heart rate figure was…excessive but feeling elated and amazed in equal measures 😉

Have you thought about what’s next for you or are you just basking in the glory of your achievement today?

I’m planning to take a look at Bridge to 10k. I’ve heard something about a magic plan 🤔

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate in reply to Xedweb]

That’s what I did after Couch to 5k. You’ve got the bonus of the stepping stones runs available on the app-those are new since I finished. There’s no one right way forward after finishing-it’s all about running in a (sensible and sustainable!) way that you enjoy. No rush to decide and you can stay posting here or head over to bridge as it suits you. The magic plan is here…

Celebrations are what’s most important!

Isn't that a great feeling? I loved (and miss) those graphics for each week!!

Double congrats for completing the 30 min run and the 5K!! Very well done.

Now go and enjoy a few weeks of consolidation runs.

Very well done... I hope you have cooled down now! Find a long steady incline and run up it, that could slow you down... for a while
